[Ricardo Garcia]

To all X.Org Foundation Members:

The X.Org Foundation's annual election is now open and will remain open
until 12:00 UTC on 2024-04-08.

4 of the eight director seats are open during this election, with the 4
nominees receiving the highest vote totals serving as directors for two
year terms.

There were 5 candidates nominated. For a complete list of candidates and
their personal statements, please see the following URL:

Here are some instructions on how to cast your vote:

1. Go directly to the voting link:

  https://members.x.org/ballot/13/vote

You might need to log into the member system first.

2. For the election: There is a pull-down selection of candidates next
to each preference level. Note that you are NOT required to select your
preferences for all 5 candidates. You can leave more than one blank by
selecting the "Abstain" option. These abstentions need to be placed at
the end of the list.

3. After you have completed your ballot, click the "Vote" button. Note
that once you click this button, your votes will be cast and you will
not be able to make further changes, so please make sure you are
satisfied with your votes before clicking the "Vote" button.

4. After you click the "Cast vote" button, the system will verify that
you have completed a valid ballot. If your ballot is invalid (e.g., you
duplicated a selection or did not answer the By-laws approval question),
it will return you to the previous voting page. If your ballot is valid,
your votes will be recorded and the system will show you a notice that
your votes were cast.

Note that the election will close at 12:00 UTC on 2024-04-08. At that
time, the election committee will count the votes and present the
results to the current board for validation. After the current board
validates the results, the election committee will present the results
to the Members.
