Elections

[Iain Lane]

Hi TB,

Full quoting an email from the DMB's private list.

tl;dr: Could you please extend the expirations of ~bdrung, ~laney,
~kitterman and ~stgraber to 2014-02-16? We need to elect replacements
for these folk, and it works best if we can align it with the meeting
schedule.

OK, Sending this reply to the TB. Thanks. Here's the new timetable.
Doesn't need to be 2015-02-23, -16 is enough AFAICS, which is only a two
day extension. This is because I messed up the original timings and
inserted a week. I also wrote 2014- everywhere when I meant 2015- :).
Despite what I said, 2015-02-16 is a meeting date (01-19, 02-02, 02-16)
so I think we can basically fit this in with only two more days needed
for the expiring members.

  Nomination starts 2015-01-19
  Repeat call 2015-01-26
  Nomination ends 2015-02-02
  Voting starts 2015-02-02
  Reminder 2015-02-09
  Voting ends 2015-02-16 (before meeting)
  New members start 2015-02-17

If you agree, could you extend the expiry dates of the members who are
running out this year to 2014-02-16 please? Assuming it goes smoothly,
we'll then be back in touch on that date for you to add the new members.
