Thanks for running the elections this year, and also thanks to Laura Abbott for working through our transition to the fully online elections. Congratulations to all the winners, I think the online process worked really well, and I don't miss carrying around the ballot scanner in my luggage at all. > > jon > > P.S.

Oh, it's my turn to thank this year's TAB for taking over the reins, and also everyone that has put up with me over the years. I've learned a great deal from my time on the TAB, and I'm looking forward seeing you all on the lists and at future conferences. -chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Hi, I was wondering, as the voting is fully online now, does it have to still overlap LPC exactly? For example I happened to miss the most important e-mail from CIVS in my inbox during the conference, and while I tried to login there by the activation code, I could only see there I was invited to 2021 poll but didn't see the 2022 one (nor I can see it there now; I assume the link from the CIVS mail would have worked, but too late now). Also, since it seems many of the nominations were last-minute [1] I only saw two of them by Friday. So even if I didn't miss the CIVS e-mail, I would have to read through the manifestos and rank the candidates quickly during LPC, which wouldn't have been ideal. So maybe the vote could be scheduler for the week before LPC? And then both the new and old TAB members that happen to travel there could meet there knowing the results already. But maybe there are still other benefits to voting during LPC that I'm not aware of, so this is just my suggestion. Thanks.

The current charter for the TAB ties the voting to the kernel summit; in the move online we interpreted that as running during LPC, where what remains of the kernel summit is held. I don't think it has to be that way; it might be better to pick a time of the year when things are relatively calm and just always do the election then. It would require a charter change, but that should be doable. Thanks, jon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

But now that we allow voting at a distance, it seems like it would be good to decouple the voting from an event. I was always a little bothered by the fact that the in-person voting gave nominees who were present a substantial advantage over those who were, for some reason or another, not in attendance. Also, can we set the deadline for close of nominations a little bit earlier, relative to the voting. I think it would be good to give people at least a week to consider the candidates and do some research. Just my 2 cents. -- Tim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
