Updated the first part as it got delayed at start.

@MichaelKohler "The elections take place and we have on-boarded 3 new Council members" shouldn't that be 4 new?

[MichaelKohler]

Yes, thanks, fixed now

Hey all - as we did not close officially with a post here and some applied after the initial term - we will keep it one more day open to be fair to everyone still considering.

I will close it on Oct 19, 9:00 PM UTC. Updated the timelines accordingly.

[hmatrjp]

Is it postpond?

23.10.2022 - Deadline for answers in Discourse Q&A

On what day do we start voting?

I see 4 of nominees posted their answers on the dedicated discourse topic, except mozmicky.

[ioana-chiorean]

hey @hmatrjp thanks for the ping on this Indeed - because of MozMicky failed to reply there - the situation changes a bit.

• first, we wanted to try all means to get to MozMicky to understand what happened - to be sure that he is ok etc
• second - the situation now changes - 4 nominees for 4 seats
• with the new situation in mind, we are now confirming with Mozilla Corp that it is ok not to run voting and to accept the nominees. As soon as this is confined we will announce it.

I might post an update to be more transparent.

[ioana-chiorean]

Leadership page PR: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/12360

[MichaelKohler]

The leadership page PR has been merged. It's not deployed yet, but I'd assume this will happen in the next few days.

Blogpost needs to be written, the rest is done.
