A large number of GNOME members have had the same experience on the
renewal mail. I do apologise and wish to inform you that we are
looking into the causes for the same. Meanwhile, your membership which
was due for renewal has hence been renewed. To request a new ballot do
please write in to elections gnome org

<smile> A number of the names above did have their memberships up for
renewal and there was no mail from them since they might have no
received a renewal due mail from the system. As stated above, we are
looking into the causes for the same, and I do apologise once again
for the inconvenience caused.

However, just for your information, all the above members have since
then had their memberships renewed and I would like to thank you for
letting us know.

Regards
Sankarshan
