W3C TAG - Call for Nominations Open - Oct. 10-Nov. 7

[tobie]

W3C wants to increase the size of the TAG from 6 elected and 3 appointed to 8 and 3. See the 2023-05-24 Disposition of Comments for rationale.

We're called on to support this change and I think we should, but I'd like @LeaVerou to weight in before I hit +1.

I was one of the people driving that change. 😄 We are way understaffed and absolutely need more people.

Per AC Forum email reflector, there hasn't been an update on the results of the decision to expand the TAG. However the call for nominations has been opened from now until Nov. 7. Updating this issue to be a call for nominations.

The TAG has been officially expanded, and there are now 5 open seats up for election. In https://github.com/openjs-foundation/standards/issues/270 I propose that OpenJS nominate Peter Linss, who has been appointed by the Director/Team for quite some time but now needs to run for election.
