[dunno if this should be discussed with the full Cc:]

2. There was a mess between several candidates sending their summary
mails on -list and elections@,
some others to -announce and -list but not on elections@ and
vice-versa. (we actually have 10 candidacies
on our RT at this time, while we see 13 candidates running)
actually, I used the rules on the foundation website because I
completely forgot about the announcement email:
http://foundation.gnome.org/vote/2011/rules.html
the rules are a tad confusing there.
| â Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of

this makes it look like you need to send two different emails â one with
the full candidacy announcement to -announce@ and one with the summary to
the elections@ address, which is what I did. a clarification would be
nice.
| â All discussion related to the elections should be held on
| foundation-list gnome org Members are invited to ask questions to one
| or all candidates on that list.
I did mess up because I didn't set up the Cc: even though it should be
the rule for announcement mailing lists, but it would probably be a good
idea to mention the Cc: rule in the website, if it's not at all possible
to set the automatic Reply-To: in the list configuration.
basically, I think these three bullet points should be just merged into
one:
"Any eligible voter can run for the Board of Directors. To announce your
candidacy, send a message to foundation-announce gnome org, setting the
Reply-To: field to foundation-list gnome org and the Cc: field to
elections gnome org The announcement should contain: your full name; a
valid email address for contacting you; your corporate affiliation (if
any); a summary of no more than 75 words of continuous text (i.e. no
bullet lists and/or multiple paragraphs) to be mailed to all registered
voters prior to the elections; and a description of your reasons for
wanting to serve as a director. The deadline for announcing candidacies
is: ${DATE}."
ciao,
Emmanuele.
