= PSC Election 2016 =

== Tentative schedule ==

* May 2016: pre-announcment of elections (see this [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-psc/2016-May/001477.html email]). TODO:
 * identify members who do not stand for election
 * identify inactive members (here the Geoserver PSC has some useful [http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/psc.html#stepping-down rules])
 * assign free'd up slots to election
* May 2016: officially announce PSC elections
* 16 June 2016, 12:00 UTC: nominations possible by community
* June 2016: elections (here it would be great use the technology of the OSGeo charter member elections). Here we have the problem to not have a charter membership.
* July 2016: PSC communicates the new members.

== Call for election ==
