[Fishrock123]

Consider me as running if there is no one else willing to give some running competition.

Resigning mine since there are now 3 people running.

cc @nodejs/collaborators, if anyone is interested and didn't see this.

@mikeal are there any sort of other restrictions, such as age, location etc?

/cc @nodejs/members

[mikeal]

Nope.

[Fishrock123]

You must be able to join in calls for the board meetings, I think. That would be about it.

Mikeal,

Can we give them an idea of the time / travel commitments (if any) and a brief description of what Board service entails?

[zeke]

@mikeal there's nothing in the issue title or body indicating that this is about "board of directors" membership. It wasn't really clear to me until I read the title of @ashleygwilliams's (awesome) post.

[mikeal]

@zeke updated description :)

[jbergstroem]

Guessing this will not be the place to vote, so can we please avoid that to keep noise down for now?

[jasnell]

Yes, please. This thread is for nominations only. While showing support for those stepping up is a good thing in general, this is not the right place to do so.

[jaredhanson]

I'm running.

[tejasmanohar]

I'm running. Read my application here.

[bnb]

I have decided to run - you can find my application here.

[ecowden]

I suppose I'll throw my hat in the ring. Hello, World.

[mikeal]

Nominations are now closed :)

All current nominees are listed here. Let me know if I missed anyone :)

[tejasmanohar]

How many seats are available for the position?

[ashleygwilliams]

2, but members can only vote for one person.

[sam-github]

@mikeal how do I get the free-for-collaborators membership? Or anyone else know?

[r-52]

@sam-github there's an issue in the member repository with the instructions and link.

[guyellis]

Fantastic job running his election @mikeal

I was super impressed with the number of high quality candidates and think that we have ended up with 2 great members for the roles. Congrats again to @ashleygwilliams and @feross
