Council Elections?

Hi there!

I was wondering why the council elections haven’t been done yet? I remember them being last year in late April. There has been no announcement yet as well regarding the next elections. If there is any reason for a delay, it should be appropriate to let Reps know about that, beforehand ideally.

Thanks

Dear Reps,
Hi Elio,

I speak on behalf of the Reps Peers. We are the body responsible to call for Council elections.

<tl;dr>
Reps Council elections will take place in July/August.

<long version>
During the Reps Council (and Peers) meeting in Berlin in April 2016 it became clear that Council elections should be shifted from May to July/August. The main driver for this decision is the work load on Council&Peers due to the June Mozilla All-Hands Meeting in London. This decision is reflected in the Council Election issue on github. We are aware that this is not an optimal solution. Nevertheless, we consider it to be a pragmatic, viable way in alignment with Reps governance principles.

Fellow Reps, thanks a lot for your understanding, continuing support and lets keep impacting the Open Web!

Best regards,
Henrik
Mozilla Reps Peer
