Eligibility for voting in 2020 is defined as:
37
+
38
+
* People who had at least 50 contributions to the Kubernetes project over
39
+
the past year, according to a snapshot taken 2020-08-01 of the data driving the [devstats developer activity counts dashboard][devstats-dashboard], who are also [Org Members].
40
+
Contributions include GitHub events like creating issues, creating pr's,
41
+
reviewing PR's, commenting on issues, etc. For full details see
42
+
[the SQL query used by devstats for developer activity counts][devstats-sql].
43
+
44
+
* People who have submitted the [voting exception form] and are accepted by
45
+
the election committee. We *explicitly* believe the above heuristic will be
46
+
inaccurate and not represent the entire community. Thus we provide the form
47
+
for those who have contributed to the project but may not meet the above
48
+
criteria. Acceptance of a form submission will be defined by a simple
49
+
majority vote, and the criteria used during this process will be used to
50
+
help refine further elections.
51
+
52
+
The requirement to be an [Org Member] is new this year, added by the Steering Committee to ensure that voters are following community issues. If you otherwise qualify to vote but have not yet applied for Org Membership, then please [request an exception][voting exception form] (and please apply for Org Membership as well).

Corporate affiliation is applied after the election. If an organization finds itself with too many representatives it is up to those individuals to come to a consensus on who should serve on the committee.
