2022 Election and By-laws approval voting OPEN

[Lyude Paul]

To all X.Org Foundation Members:

The X.Org Foundation's annual election is now open and will remain open until
23:59 UTC on 18 April 2022.

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 6 candidates nominated. For a complete list of the candidates and
their personal statements, please see:

https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/Elections/2022/

Here are some instructions on how to cast your vote:

1. Go directly to the voting link

   https://members.x.org/ballot/9/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
   6 candidates. You can leave more than one blank.

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.

   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 23:59 UTC on 18 April 2022. 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.
