Electorate

Except otherwise-noted in the project team description, the electorate for a given PTL election are the Foundation individual members that are also committers for one of the team's repositories over the Juno-Kilo timeframe (April 9, 2014 06:00 UTC to April 9, 2015 05:59 UTC).

The electorate is requested to confirm their email address in gerrit, review.openstack.org > Settings > Contact Information > Preferred Email, prior to April 9, 2015 05:59 UTC so that the emailed ballots are mailed to the correct email address.

There is a resolution to the governance repo that all of the electorate is expected to follow: http://governance.openstack.org/resolutions/20140711-election-activities.html

Candidates

Any member of an election electorate can propose their candidacy for the same election until April 9, 05:59 UTC. Self-nomination is common, third party nomination is not required, and on-list candidate support emails are discouraged both to reduce mailing list traffic and to keep everything fair for nominees. Nominees propose their candidacy by sending an email to the openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org mailing-list, which the subject: "ProjectTeam PTL candidacy" (for example for Glance: "Glance PTL candidacy"). The email can include a description of the candidate platform. The candidacy is then confirmed by one of the election officials, after verification of the electorate status of the candidate.
