REQUEST FOR NOMINATIONS: TSC lead (nominate 20250430-20250508)

[planetf1]

Our charter calls for our TSC lead to be elected for a period of one year, each year.

That term ends 16 May 2025.

I therefore propose & call for an election for the next TSC lead which we will manage through github.

I suggest we gather nominees for a period of one week, followed by voting for one week, as long as at least half our current TSC voting members approve the process.

As such, if you would like to nominate yourself for TSC lead (you do not need to be a TSC voting member, or even attend the meetings currently), please comment below. Feel free to add a short bio/justification for your nomination. At this time do not cast any votes/comments on the nominees.

If you have any concern or query about the process, feel free to comment here

For all VOTING MEMBERS, please add a THUMBS UP emoji, or add a text comment to confirm you approve of this process

This issue will act as our formal record

-- Nigel.

@franziskuskiefer @mkannwischer Thanks for agreeing with the process

We need half the voting members to agree with the process

@hanno-becker @mbbarbosa @tfaoliveira @jschanck @praveksharma @jakemas - can you check you are ok with the process and indicate above or via comment. Please also self-nominate if you wish. Thanks!

[planetf1]

Thanks for agreeing with the process. 5/9 members have voted, so now let's capture any remaining nominations - please add a note below if you'd like to propose yourself as TSC lead. I propose we add one further week for nominations to give anyone interested a fair chance prior to voting.

[mkannwischer]

As discussed during the 2025-05-22 TSC meeting, I'm happy to nominate myself.

[planetf1]

With one nomination, having extended the voting period I propose we ratify @mkannwischer as TSC lead for the next 2025-6 period

+1 vote by me.

Please can other TSC members also vote below so we can get a quorate vote -- thanks!
