| 22 | +## Purpose |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The role of this election is to fill out the three (3) seats open for election |
| 25 | +this year on the [Kubernetes Code of Conduct Committee]. Each elected |
| 26 | +member will serve a two (2) year term. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +*In an effort to deconflict between Steering and Code of Conduct Committee |
| 29 | +election timing and provide new Steering Committee members sufficient time to |
| 30 | +onboard (3+ months), the Steering Committee has made the decision to move the |
| 31 | +Code of Conduct Committee elections to follow the 2024 Steering elections, |
| 32 | +instead of preceding them.* |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Election Platform |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +We will be using [Elekto] to conduct the election. Elekto relies entirely on GitHub OAuth for |
| 37 | +voting, and as such does not use email at all. Elekto also handles exceptions, |
| 38 | +eligibility checks, and other aspects of the election. See the [Elekto voting documentation] |
| 39 | +for how to use it. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Eligibility |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- Candidate commits to putting the interests of the community above the interests of their employer for all Code of Conduct Committee activities. |
| 44 | +- Is generally a responsible human |
| 45 | +- Does not have to be part of the Kubernetes or CNCF community |
| 46 | +- Characteristics which would be nice in any nominations: |
| 47 | + - Previous experience on an Ethics Committee or Code of Conduct Committee is appreciated |
| 48 | + - Has demonstrated integrity, professionalism, and positive influence within the community is appreciated |
| 49 | + - Experience with the tools which we use to communicate (Zoom, Slack, GitHub, etc.) within the Kubernetes community is appreciated |
