Hi all,

The nomination period for the Architecture Committee election is now open. 

How to run for a seat:
1) Review the responsibilities of the Architecture Committee members [1]
2) Between now and August 27 at 14:59 UTC, you can declare your candidacy for one of the three open seats by submitting a textfile with your name (please put your name as the file name), reason for running and your platform/objectives to this folder[2]. Please also send a message to the kata-dev ML with this same info, declaring your candidacy.

Election Process:
The full process is outlined here [3], but key dates are as follows:

Who can vote:
Anyone who has had a commit merged into the project in the last 12 months will be eligible to vote. Because this is our first election, I’d like to test our electorate generation process--I will send a message to all eligible voters this week, and give anyone who doesn’t receive a message (who thinks they should have) a chance to raise their hand. Keep an eye out for those emails later on.

Please let me know if you have any questions about running for a seat or the election process!
