Who will run the election Process: An Election Coordinator will be designated from within the Akraino Community. The Election Coordinator should be a non-running member. Instructions on how to use the CIVS voting system are available here. 

Note: Please ensure that both the name and email address for each member is listed on each sub-committee membership wiki page in order to properly set up CIVS voting when required. Not doing so will cause delays for the Election Coordinator in setting up and executing the voting process. 

Process:

  • Self Nomination Phase

    • When appropriate a call for nominations will be sent by the Election Coordinator to the appropriate sub-committee mail list. Individuals interested in running for the Sub-Committee Chair position must reply-all to that email with their intention to run. It is recommended that candidates include a biography and statement of intent on why they would be a good person to hold this position.

    • The nomination phase begins with the receipt of the announcement (as verified by checking the appropriate mail list within the Akraino Groups.io)

    • The nomination phase ends four (4) full business days after the announcement in the same time zone the poll was initiated from.

  • Election Phase
    • A Condorcet election will be held using the CIVS voting system.

    • All sub-committee members (as indicated above) will receive an invitation to vote.

    • The election phase will begin with the distribution of the CIVS poll via email.
    • The election phase will end four (4) full business days later in the same time zone the poll was initiated from.
  • Election Results
    • The individual receiving the highest number of votes from all votes cast shall be declared the winner.
    • The Election Coordinator will update the Voting Results History Page page with the applicable name, date, and link to the publicly viewable CIVS results.
    • The Election Coordinator will then send an email to the sub-committee mail list and to the tsc mail list. 

Note: Make sure your spam filter does not block mail from civs@cs.cornell.edu or you may not receive a ballot if you are authorized to vote. Ballots can only be resent from the tool, they cannot be sent as a forward from an individual.
