  • Announcement of Election Results: 15 December 2025

The list of eligible voters and candidates who can be nominated are the same with the exception of election officers who can vote, but are ineligible to run for a position in the election they are administering.  Those who are ineligible are noted below in the list. 

For this election last year is from 12 October 2025 to 12 October 2025. 

Exceptions Phase

The exceptions phase will start TODAY,  13 October 2025.  If you are not on the list of eligible nominees or voters and believe you should be listed, you can file for an exception during this phase.  To file an exception please fill out the exceptions form 

This phase allows the community to review the list of published eligible voters and candidates and if someone believes they are eligible but not include the list then they can file an exception, which the election officer(s) will review.  For example, if you've helped with and contributed to the projects with actions that aren't trackable in Github, such actively helping on slack, planning events, etc and your name isn't on the list, please consider filing an exception.  You can do so by filling out the exceptions form. 

List of eligible Voters and Candidates who are eligible to be Nominated:

This information is contained in the following PR and should be merged soon: 
https://github.com/kubeflow/community/pull/909 

Again, if your name is not on the list of voters or candidates and you believe is should be, please file an exception

Email Addresses for those who are eligible. 

We will also be reaching out to all those who are eligible via Github to verify their email address so we can ensure their voting keys are deliver to the correct email address for the the voting phase of this election.  If your name is on the list please be on the look for a message from me this week. 

Slack Channel

We will be creating a slack channel for election questions - #elections-kubeflow-project-steering-committee-2025.  As soon as it has been created, I'll send out an email. 

Calendar Reminders for each phase of the election

If you would like to be added to calendar reminders for each of these phases please let me know as I'll be setting up these reminders before 20 October 2025. 

With gratitude,

Amber Graner on behalf of the election officers
