Exceptions to renewals / new memberships processing during elections

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

Hi,

the current policy of the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee prevents us from processing renewals / new membership requests during Board's elections but we received a few e-mails stating the fact that this is actually blocking a few people from requesting travel subsidies for the upcoming GUADEC 2013 and we don't want that to happen.

If you are in the same situation as the one outlined above please get in touch with the Membership Committee ASAP at membership-committee gnome org. In the case your renewal / membership will be processed as an exception during the election period you won't be able to vote. (ballots have been generated and sent already, in addition the election rules are clearly stating that "Members of the GNOME Foundation as of 2013-05-22 are eligible to vote in the elections")

Have an awesome day,
