Hi, Now that the Fiscal Continuity IG's report [1] is finalized except for any errata that may trickle in, we'd like to proceed with calling the vote. Taking up a suggestion Eric Hellman made in July, a draft of the ballot we propose to put in the Diebold-o-tron is available here: https://github.com/code4lib/fcig/blob/master/ballot_draft.md Pull requests are welcome if folks wish to suggest or discuss modifications to the ballot and voting process we're proposing; we can of course also discuss here, though I suggest that if there ends up being a lot of mailing list discussion about the ballot, we try to keep on a thread distinct from substantive discussion of the report and the options it presents. We suggest that voting start on 2 October and close on 30 October. The voting period is a time for open discussion, debate, and community analysis of the information presented in the FCIG Report. If you have any questions about the FCIG report, this ballot, or any of the options provided, please ask your questions on the Code4Lib listserv so that the community can discuss them and so that previous conference volunteers, FCIG members, and potential fiscal sponsors can provide more details as needed.
