Please note: 1. We can't use the aug-2017-elections tag as governed projects may have changed. The new tag will need to be applied before 2017-10-09T23:59 2. The dates for valid APC's is extended from the PTL election to include the final days of the Pike release This matches my reading of the bylaws Appendix 4, Section 3.b.ii [1] """ An Individual Member is an ATC who has had a contribution approved for inclusion in any of the official OpenStack projects during one of the two prior release cycles of the Core OpenStack Project. """ 3. The election period is 5 business days which exceeds the requirement of 4 business days [2] [1] https://www.openstack.org/legal/technical-committee-member-policy/ [2] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#election-for-tc-seats Change-Id: Id8df8d4f7062316347fc5cfb3ec8323c8ec2df9c |
