> - Election will be called for 1 June 2014, running for 14 days
> - Anyone can claim voting rights if they:
> - have been subscribed to the list for 2 months prior to the
> election being called; and
> - agree to the existing statement of objectives (see
> http://bestbits.net/organizer/best-bits/).
> - Voting is for each of 5 regional positions (voting for each
> separately) and 3 non-geographical positions (voting together):
> - Regions are Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean,
> Europe, North America/Other
> - Total 8 positions, but "no candidate" is also an option which may
> result in fewer positions filled
> - Candidates can run for a regional position or for a non-geographical
> position simultaneously, ie. they need not elect for one position or the
> other.
> - Votes are counted using a "first past the post" system
> - It is aimed to achieve a panel of candidates with at least 40% of
> each gender - if not, the election will be postponed, unless there is a
> broad consensus amongst all eligible voters to run the election
> notwithstanding the failure to reach this standard.
> - Candidates can serve a minimum term of 1 year, maximum of 3 years,
> with a 1 year gap before reappointment.
> - Candidacy is open to civil society participants only.
>
> *Nominations of candidates for election are open from now until 31 May.*
> This can be done by sending an email to the list and/or to the returning
> officer. Ian Peter <ian.peter at ianpeter.com> has volunteered to act as
> the returning officer for the election. If there are any objections to Ian
> taking this role, or if anyone else would like to assist Ian, please let us
> know.

> There is no required format for the candidates' statement, however as a
> suggestion, it may be useful to indicate:

>
> - Your vision for Best Bits. What do you think you can contribute on
> the steering committee?
> - That you can commit time of up to several hours per week to devote
> to Best Bits. This may include facilitating the broader community of
> participants to organise meetings, draft joint statements or interventions,
> improve website resources, mediate disputes, etc. Where do you think your
> strengths lie?
> - Familiarity with the existing statement of objectives at
> http://bestbits.net/organizer/best-bits/ and the draft procedures at
> http://bestbits.net/wiki/main/procedures/. (These are not written in
> stone, but they are a useful guideline to our current practices.)
> - Anything else that you wish to communicate.
>
>
> Thanks for your support as we look forward to receiving a diverse group of
> candidates for our first election. If you have any questions, please let
> us know.
