[governance] IGC Co-Coordinators Elections

[Imran Ahmed Shah (via governance Mailing List)]

 May I suggest two co-coordinators slots, for one and two years, so that the term of both will not expire at same time.

 Thanks for the replies so far, everyone! 
@Chaitanya, just to clear up, one of the co-coordinators term has expired for more than one year, but mine is only expired for less than two months. Nevertheless, I believe we should vote for the two co-coordinators slots. I am still eligible for re-election, but in case I dont run or get re-elected I will most definitely help with transition and concluding our processes. 

Best, Bruna

I agree for the 1st / 2nd week of August. 
For those who've been BestBits members for a long timeframe, and due to the current circumstances, I would suggest that those who'll be eligible to vote as of 31st October should be permitted to cast their vote in the August election. 
What's the plan to address the situation of 2 coordinators with a 1-year term overlap? Are we voting one member (and will you continue to serve for a while, to ensure smooth knowledge transfer) or are we voting 2 members?
Best,

Dear IGC Members, 

I am writing to you in order to discuss the elections subject. After reading - and agreeing - to so many of your comments on the list, I concur to the idea that its best for us to host our elections for the Co-Coordinators slots as soon as possible. 

The situation of the Co-Coordinator's term is as it follows: 

Arsène Tungali, one of our previous Co-Coordinators, Arsene resigned and his term was also expired. In my case, after checking the last elections announcement I could verify that I do not have 6 more months of term as it expired less than two monts ago (May, 2019). 

I am happy that the discussion surrounding the IGC-BestBits merger have also helped us get this list back to activity and the shared interest in putting everything back to work - from website and mailing list archives to elections. 

On that note, I would agree on running elections right away. And my suggestion would be to wait until the first or second week of August for us to get some things in order to conduct this process. About this, I will need some help in setting a page to check-in members, a tally and ensuring that this elections is GDPR compliant. 
If you disagree with this approach, let me know by July 31st.  I understand that some of our members considered the idea of hosting it in october as it would allow the new members (most likely BestBits members) to go through their 'period of grace' and be able to vote.
Looking forward to hearing back from you on this.
