Here's the draft schedule for 2006 Board of Directors election of GNOME Foundation.

Gnome Foundation Membership Committee -- Who can vote? ------------- To be able to vote, you need to be a member of the GNOME Foundation and your membership needs to be valid at least until the end of the elections. For example, a member whose membership ends on November 30th 2006 won't be able to vote for the elections. If you're not a member of the GNOME Foundation or if you need to renew your membership, you have to apply at http://foundation.gnome.org/membership/application.php before November 8th 2006 (23:59 UTC). If you have applied before this date and if you are accepted, then you will be able to vote for these elections. Being a candidate ----------------- If you are a member of the GNOME Foundation and are interested in running for election, you may nominate yourself by sending an e-mail to foundation-announce gnome org with your name, e-mail address, corporate affiliation (if any), and a description of why you'd like to serve before November 16th 2006 (23:59 UTC). You should also send a summary of your candidacy announcement (75 words or less) to elections gnome org If you are not yet a GNOME Foundation member and would like to stand for election, you must first apply for membership and be accepted to be eligible to run. (You may, however, announce your candidacy prior to formal acceptance of your application; should your application not be accepted, you will not be included in the list of candidates.)
