These are as follows, </div><div><br></div><div>1. The Sugar Labs oversight board has unanimously agreed to the motion of changing the name of the election to <b>2019-21</b>, the decision is underlined below. </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Agreed Motion 2020-02; this late election to be renamed 2019-2021, and<br>that the seats to vacate be either three or four, per our governance<br>rule "positions on the board will be on a two-year staggered basis".</blockquote><div> </div><div>You can find the information regarding the election and the candidates here, <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2019-2021-candidates" target="_blank">https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2019-2021-candidates</a> <br>(We are still migrating information of candidates and will finish that up soon)</div><div><br></div><div>2. In regards to the same, the seats to be vacated has to be either three or four for the election to take place. There is one (1) additional slot available after the resignation of Walter Bender from the oversight board. Walter will still be closely associated with all activities of Sugar Labs.<font color="#dbd8d3" face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"> </span></font><br></div><div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Point of clarification. I am vacating my seat as of 31 January to make room for the 3rd slot so we can rebalance our board seats as per the guidelines. I plan to run for one of the 4 seats that will open up in the 2020-2022 election at the end of this calendar year.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>3. After a discussion with the election committee, I have decided the election will take place from <b>15th January to 31st January 2020</b>. Results will be declared soon after that.</div><div><br></div><div>That would be all for the moment. Hoping to see you all vote for the upcoming elections! Expecting a bigger turnout. As always, do reach out if you have any questions. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, </div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="2">Vipul Gupta</font></div><div><a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Vipulgupta2048" target="_blank">@vipulgupta2048</a> <br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
