[General-members] Re: Call for action: General Member representative on the Governing Board

Hi all, I hope you are all safe and healthy! We have a wee bit of formality to get through ;-) Unfortunately, we were unable to have this discussion in person at Cephalocon. On the Ceph Foundation's board of governors, General and Associate Members each are represented via a single member. This role is currently filled by Paul Emmerich at croit.io, and thanks for his effort! There have been some changes to the Foundation's membership since and it seems sensible to re-affirm or re-evaluate this annually. According to 3.a.ii (Participation Agreement, Exhibit B), general members vote on their representative. As the board, we'd like to help facilitate this and host a vote via https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/ (recommended by Sage) so the process can complete in time for our next board meeting. Thus, feel free to discuss here, and send self-nominations to board(a)ceph.io by Monday, April 20th 2020. We'd then run the vote until Sunday, April 26th, and hopefully welcome either our re-newed or new member at the next board meeting. (I hope the timing is not considered too tight.) Please also reach out to us - either via the list or directly to me - in case there are any follow-up questions or concerns.
