Folks,
As described in my last email, the board has selected a nomination committee and opened up nominations. The nomination committee is:
- Julie Lerman
- Jessica White
- Steve (Ardalis) Smith
- Iris Classon
- Rabeb Othmani
They will review each nomination for the following criteria:
- Active voting member of the Foundation in good standing
- Prior leadership role within the .NET Foundation (e.g., Board Director, Project Leader, Committee chair, etc.)
- Leadership role within another open source software foundation (e.g., Board Director, Project Leader, Committee chair, etc.)
- Recent active involvement in the .NET Foundation
- A commitment to dedicate up to ten hours per month on Board responsibilities
While .NET and programming are highly technical things, the board of the .NET Foundation isn't a technical role. We need people who can organize, lead programs, create change, and bring their experiences to define and execute the .NET Foundation's mission. If that sounds like you, please nominate yourself today! Nominations are open and will close on June 26th. The slate of candidates will be announced on July 7th, beginning a two week campaign period. Elections follow for two weeks using the same system. as last year.
Claire
Executive Director
