+Hello everyone!
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of Manila PTL during
+the Caracal/2024.1 cycle.
+
+I have been in this role for the last 3 cycles and I would like to continue
+serving as PTL.
+
+During the past cycles, there was a lot of effort on promoting contributor
+collaboration through different activities and it helped us to make progress on
+closing gaps between the Manila APIs and other clients consuming them, as well
+as tackling tech debt and getting new features and drivers merged. I feel
+energized to continue pushing on these areas, but also put some focus on:
+
+* Working on the stability of our upstream CI first party jobs and also checking
+  with third party CI maintainers to ensure their CI is healthy and reporting
+  valid results.
+
+* Enhancing the review bandwidth and doing more actions to encourage more
+  reviews from people submitting code to the Manila code base.
+
+* Work on documentation to help new contributors understand what are the
+  requirements when proposing new features, and also continue the effort
+  to cover the lack of documentation we have on third party CI setups for
+  Manila, helping potential new vendors to quickly set up their CI systems.
+
+Thank you for your consideration!
+
