The SIG is now ready to accept statements of candidacy for leadership roles. The election cycle will be triggered upon receipt of the first statement of candidacy for any role. Once the cycle begins, there will be two weeks for additional candidates to enter the running and for any other SIG business to be voted upon to be brought to the attention of the SIG. Statements of candidacy and other actionable business should be posted to the GDSIG Mailing List.

Further updates will be posted once elections get underway.

Please take a few minutes to look over the constitution draft and cast your vote using this form. Voting will be open through Sunday, November 15.
