Election process
Nominations can be made between the 3rd and 17th of November 2019. Four positions on the board are open. Self nominations are accepted and current board members can be re-nominated. The nominating committee of the Board will try to ensure that two candidates are nominated for each open board position. A ballot of nominees will be disseminated to husITa mailing list members and voting will be open for two weeks between the 20th November and 4th of December, 2019.
The names of those elected will be posted to the husITa mailing list after the husITa board makes final decisions on terms. A list of the votes received by each of the candidates will be retained so that, if a position becomes vacant, the nominee with the next number of votes will be approached to assume the position until the end of the original term.
