#172 Elections deadline
Closed: approved Opened by nb.

I had originally signed up as a candidate for the Council and Mindshare elections, however once the signups were started over, I did not sign up in time. My mother was in the hospital and had surgery and I was also busy at work when I wasn't at the hospital. I would request that the council grant an exception and allow me to be a candidate for the Council and the Mindshare elections. If this request is granted, I will provide my answers to the questionaires ASAP. Thank you.


We should grant these kind of requests, if raised. I know also other people were forgetting to re-add themselves to the nomination page because they thought they were still in. (FESCo is an example).
So, +1 to this, but answers need to be done within today to fit the schedule:

Yeah, I'm also inclined to be accommodating in situations like this, especially given all of the factors involved.

I am +1 to this specific request solely because of the fact that @nb was in the list before the election "redo" and it the medical is verifiable. In general, I would not be +1 to late additions in future elections without extenuating circumstances.

My +1 is contingent on @nb finishing the questionaires in tiem to be published with all other interviews at the same time.

I am +1 having the same requirement as @bex: @nb needs to finish questionnaires in time to be published with all other interviews at the same time.

As we are going to publish the interviews today (2018-Jan-16) @23:59:59 UTC, I would expect to have the answers 2 hours before the publishing, so there is some time to make it ready for Comm Blog.

I already sent @nb the instructions how to answer the questionnaire.

Given the short timeline and the positive comments above, I'm going to mark this as approved.

Anyone not happy with this can not vote for @nb, I guess. :)

Metadata Update from @mattdm:
- Issue close_status updated to: approved

Just a note: @nb has delivered the required interviews. Both interviews (to Council and to Mindshare) are now scheduled for publishing. Voting machine has been set up accordingly as well.
