Josh and Tracy present a summary of the election retrospective session. The election did not go fully as expected. And the goal in future elections will be to verify that candidates are fully eligible before the election starts. We also realize that people need more options to communicate with the OSI because the election became the main moment when individuals communicate with the OSI. This can be a counter productive approach, particularly if the communication is related to a single or narrow issue.
The board will publish a statement after the retrospective to explain how we plan to update the process for future election.
Motion: Josh moves to release a statement about the elections based on the board discussion as approved by the chair.
