[sugar-sur] [SLOBS] [IAEP] Motion To declare a fix date for every year's Sugar Labs Oversight Board election.

[Laura Vargas]

Hi Walter,

Seems we do have a fixed date for elections documented at the wiki:

"The Sugar Labs membership elects the Oversight Board each August, for
terms beginning in September. Members
<https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Members> can nominate themselves
to run in the election. The overall election process is overseen by the
Membership and Elections Committee, which can be reached at elections at
sugarlabs.org."

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance/Membership

So unless we modify this terms, SLOBS elections shall take place in August.

Regards,

Laura V
