Hello again,
Today marks the start of the 2025 GOSH Community Council Election cycle and, with it, the opening of nominations for Independent Observer.
The Independent Observer plays a critical role in GOSH Community Council elections, affirming and ensuring that defined processes are being followed and providing assurance that a fair and inclusive election takes place.
In particular, the responsibilities of the independent observer are to:
- Review and understand the GOSH election processes
- Work with the Election Secretary to confirm that processes are followed
- Review and confirm tabulated election results in collaboration with the Election Secretary,
- Confirm winning candidates in collaboration with the Election Secretary
- Confirm that reported election results match tabulated election results
Ideally, the Independent Observer should be someone from outside of the GOSH community. If you have an idea of someone who would be a good candidate for the Independent Observer position, please share the following with us:
- Why this person would be a good Independent Observer.
- Whether they are related or not to GOSH.
- If this person is aware of your nomination.
Nominations for Independent Observer are open today, 6 June through 20 June. To nominate someone please either respond to this thread or send an email to goshcouncil@openhardware.science.
