Candidate Nominations Now Open for the 2023 GOSH Community Council Election!

Hi GOSH Community,

This is a reminder that candidate nominations will be closing in two days! If you would like to self-nominate, or nominate someone else from the community, you can do so using this link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/01430e11-7927-c5eb-6cf1-78884150be09

Be sure to register to vote, as well!

Additional clarification
A quick clarification regarding candidate nominations, as I have been asked about this a few times. The council members whose seats are up for election are eligible to be nominated and run again for a council seat. Below is the text from the governance plan which explains this:

"All elected Community Council members shall serve for at most 2 consecutive terms, regardless of term length. No one can serve more than 2 consecutive terms on the council. A partial term counts as a full one.

As an example, all those elected to the initial Community Council will be eligible to run for reelection one time, but if reelected for a second term, they will not be able to run for a third consecutive Community Council term. After being off the Community Council for one term, former members would be eligible to run for election again."

Read the full governance plan here.

Thanks!
Bri
