Re: Announcing Board of Directors Elections 2014



I have re-sent my application to the aforementioned lists
(foundation-announce & elections), and it is 'awaiting moderator
approval'.

CANDIDACY
=========
If you want to run for one of the seven positions on The GNOME
Foundation Board of Directors, then send an email to
foundation-announce gnome org and elections gnome org
[...]
All discussion related to the elections should be held on
foundation-list.

Quoted instructions state people announce on foundation-announce.
Instructions don't say to CC foundation-list, but to implicitly discuss
candidates on foundation-list gnome org  Somehow.
Does that mean we cross fingers that people find out how to set
"Reply-To" in their mail clients?


Understanding what the 'Reply-to' field is for is not required in this case,
anyone who is willing to ask a question should just create a new email
making sure the 'To' field is populated with foundation-list gnome org
accordingly. In the case a question is meant against a specific candidacy
just removing the current 'To' field from foundation-announce gnome org to
foundation-list gnome org should be enough. I'll make sure to add the
'Reply-to' header myself next time, it slipped out of my head when I sent
the announcement out.


Looking at candidacy announcements so far, I see:
foundation-announce: Tobi, Oliver, Jeff, Karen, Andrea.
foundation-list: Tobi, Oliver, Jeff, Karen, Emily, Sriram, Anish.


Although instructions are clear about where candidacies should be sent to
(that is foundation-announce g o + CC on elections g o, the latter (as per
my follow-up at [1]) is not
really needed but won't create any harm. (for the next elections we will
just require candidacies to be sent to foundation-announce gnome org with
eventual follow-ups and questions to be sent to foundation-list gnome org)

That said the GNOME Foundation Elections and Membership Committee will make
sure to "parse" the proposed candidacies on both lists, we do suggest Emily
and Sriram to send a copy of their candidacy to foundation-announce as well
as a future reference.
