<div dir="ltr">Hi Shaun, question about this .. <div><br></div>Eventually I do plan to put my hat in the ring, but possibly not this time around - I'll most likely wait for someone from RH to retire. How many Red Hatters are currently on the board, and should we replace Tru with a RH person? I realize it isn't a requirement to be (or not to be) from RH, but I think the board will be healthier if there are more non-RH people there, and since Tru is not RH it would make more sense for someone else to take the opportunity.<div><div><br></div><div><div>thanks<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | <a href="mailto:jefro@redhat.com" target="_blank">jefro@redhat.com</a><br><div>Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive<br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 9, 2022 at 10:46 AM Shaun McCance <<a href="mailto:shaunm@redhat.com">shaunm@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">** Please read this entire email before responding with nominations.<br>
** We have a process, and the process is important.<br>
<br>
As per our governance docs:<br>
<a href="https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/</a><br>
Every six months, half of our directors are asked if they wish to<br>
continue in their seats or step down. This time, we will have one seat<br>
to fill.<br>
<br>
Tru Huynh has indicated to the board his intent to step down. Tru has<br>
been a part of this community for a long time, and we all deeply<br>
appreciate the work he's done both on the board and across the entire<br>
project.<br>
<br>
We are asking you, the CentOS community, for nominations for who should<br>
fill Tru's seat. Note that the vote on who will fill his seat is held<br>
by the board itself, but nominations are open to the entire community.<br>
If you would like to nominate someone (or self-nominate), please use<br>
this Google form:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://forms.gle/WsknUVnPL5zbWcSK6" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/WsknUVnPL5zbWcSK6</a><br>
<br>
Please DO NOT send nominations to this list. As this is not a public<br>
vote, we don't to give the impression of a popularity contest with<br>
public nominations. We also want to avoid any shaming if someone is<br>
nominated and is not seated, or chooses not to accept.<br>
<br>
I will ensure that each nominee is willing and able to serve, and the<br>
board will consider them and select the next director from the list.<br>
<br>
If you wish to nominate someone, you should consider the list of<br>
director requirements and recommendations listed at:<br>
<a href="https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/</a><br>
<br>
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and participation in this<br>
process.<br>
<br>

Shaun, for the CentOS Board of Directors<br>
