You’re welcome. David and I have been working with the Interim Steering Committee to get the final updates merged and we’ll be kicking off this election process with the exceptions phase in a few hours. 

I’m super excited to see this coming together and all the progress we’ve made this year in transitioning to the CNCF as an incubation project. 

Kicking off this election and getting an elected KSC in place is one more step toward graduation and having a stable, mature, and sustainable project and community. 

Thanks everyone and look forward to sharing the eligibility list of candidates and voters in a few hours. Also looking forward to this week of exceptions. 

Remember once the list is published today, if you believe you should be included on either list and you’re not, please file an exception. 

With gratitude, 

~Amber
