+ <h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2014 Elections</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for the
+ GNOME Foundation Board of Directors. A short summary statement from
+ each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is
+ provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters
+ to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on
+ <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/";>foundation-list@gnome.org</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully consider
+ the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This
+ <a href="../overview.html">overview</a> may be helpful. Keep in mind that
+ the board will make a number of important decisions and will also have to
+ perform many tasks which require a significant amount of time and effort
+ and the ability to work and communicate with other people, companies, and
+ the media. The board of directors will represent GNOME to companies and
+ the world in a very real way. It is a good idea to strive for a
+ well-balanced board consisting of people with various backgrounds,
+ skills, and perspectives.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Additional elections details can be found on the

+ such as <a
href="https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2012-May/msg00015.html";>Emeritus members</a>
+ are not eligible to vote.
+ Anyone who has made a
+ contribution to GNOME can apply for membership by completing the

+ be mailed to all registered voters several days prior to the elections.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ All discussion related to the elections should be held on

+ and votes must be returned by

+ <li>
+ Votes will be held confidential during the elections, but an
+ anonymized archive of all submitted votes will be made publicly
+ accessible at its conclusion.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee is
+ responsible for counting the votes.
+ The committee serves at the pleasure of the GNOME Board of Directors
+ as per Section 9.1 of the bylaws.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The 7 candidates voted for most as counted by a <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2009-March/msg00012.html";>single transferable
+ vote system</a> will be elected, except that no more than two
+ individuals affiliated with any one corporation may be elected. Should
+ more than two of the top seven vote-getters be affiliated with the
+ same company, only the two with the most votes will be considered
+ elected. For a full definition of corporate affiliation, see the
+ <a href="https://live.gnome.org/Foundation/Charter";>GNOME Foundation charter</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Elections
+ Committee will schedule run-off elections as soon as possible.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as
+ possible after the elections close, along with instructions on how to
+ access the votes archive and how to independently verify the vote
+ count.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
+ <a
+ href="mailto:elections@gnome.org";>elections@gnome.org</a>
+ prior to
+ <!-- PRELIMINARY_RESULTS_DATE -->2014-06-17.
+
+ The decision of the Elections Committee as
+ to any challenge shall be final. Once any challenges have been
+ resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce the final results.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
+ Elections Committee by e-mail to <a
+ href="mailto:elections@gnome.org";>elections@gnome.org</a>.
+ The committee shall have the power to make any necessary changes or
+ clarifications to these rules at any point during the elections.

+Dear %(firstname)s %(lastname)s,
+
+The election of the GNOME Foundation Board will soon be open.
+
+Voting will run from 2014-05-25 (Sunday) until 2014-06-08, 23:59 UTC.
+
+To vote, please go to http://vote.gnome.org/vote.php?id=18
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+http://vote.gnome.org/2014/candidates.html
+
+When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
+
+ E-mail: %(email)s
+ Vote token: %(token_or_last_renewed_on)s
+
+The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the
+voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of
+preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to
+confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your
+choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you to
+verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To ensure
+anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your identifiers,
+so please keep this token safe. Once you have voted, you will not be able
+to vote again.
+
+Thank you for your vote!
+
+Regards,
+ Tobias Mueller
+ on behalf of the GNOME Membership and Elections Commitee
