A ballot will be sent by email to all registered voters by the start of voting. Voting will begin at 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -7) on Saturday, September 26th 2020 and continue until 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -7) on Saturday, October 10th 2020.
If you are a voter and do not see this ballot by Monday morning, first check your spam boxes as it may come from an unrecognized source. If you don't find it there, please send an email to election@lists.hyperledger.org.
The TSC is responsible for setting the direction and character of the Hyperledger community across all its technical projects. This is your chance to influence that direction and character. The TSC should represent a broad range of voices from across the Hyperledger community. I encourage you to take the time to read the candidate statements linked from this email and consider your vote carefully.
Thank you,
Brian Behlendorf
