Hello idpy developers!
It’s that time again! Time to accept nominations for the Board slate. Three of the current
board members are at the end of their term; all three have agreed to continue on as Board
members:
• Heather Flanagan (Spherical Cow Group)
• Leif Johansson (SUNET)
• Christos Kanellopoulos (GÉANT)
As a reminder regarding board seats:
"The IdentityPython Board has a minimum of three, and a maximum of seven natural
persons. The founding IdentityPython Board has appointed a number of its constituting
Directors to serve a half (12 month) term, and the remainder to serve a regular (24 month)
term. Subsequent Directors are elected by the IdentityPython Board to regular 24-month
terms according to the procedure set out in these Statutes. The founding Board will select
a nominating committee of active developers and other contributors to identify candidates
for ongoing Board membership. Directors are permitted to seek office for multiple terms,
however, when running against other candidates the amount of terms they have consecutively
served is deducted from the votes cast in their favour. This provides a balance between
continuity, equal opportunities and renewal of qualities and competences."

If you have interest in serving on the board, please let Ivan or I know. Nominations are
open until 15 January 2023. If no new nominations come in, the board will re-appoint the
current members.
Thanks! Heather
