+ <h1>Candidates for The Document Foundation 2014 Membership Committee
Elections</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for the
+ The Document Foundation Membership Committee. A short summary statement
from
+ each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is
+ provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters
+ to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on
+ <a
href="http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/";>board-discuss@documentfoundation.org</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p> When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully
+ consider the various tasks Membership Committee seat holders must
+ perform. This <a href="../overview-mc.html">overview</a> may be
+ helpful. Keep in mind that the committee will decide on granting
+ membership, and renewal thereof, and also plays an important role
+ as a counter-balance to the board of directors. It is a good idea
+ to strive for a well-balanced committee, consisting of people with
+ various backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. </p>

+Your Document Foundation 2014 Membership Committee Voting Token
+
+Dear $member,
+
+The election of The Document Foundation Membership Committee will soon
+be open.
+
+Voting will run from 2014-09-04, 00:00 CEST/UTC+2 until 2014-09-11,
+24:00 CEST/UTC+2.
+
+To vote, please go to
+https://elections.documentfoundation.org/vote.php?election_id=6
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+https://elections.documentfoundation.org/2014-mc/candidates.html
+
+When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
+
+ E-mail: $email
+ Vote token: $token
+
+The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the
+voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of
+preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to
+confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your
+choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you to
+verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To ensure
+anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your identifiers,
+so please keep this token safe. Once you have voted, you will not be able
+to vote again.
+
+Thank you for your vote!
+
+Regards,
+ Thorsten Behrens
+ On behalf of The Document Foundation Board of Directors
