Hi Heather, I was just following the description Ray did re "community debate and discussions" - my recollection is that there was a week between the end of the nominations and the start of voting specifically to enable debate and politicking.
I would definitely not like to see the polarization that we see in national elections (the US is not an exception in this), but I trust our community can have respectful discourse, and identify differences in what candidates bring to the TSC without driving wedges. I appreciate the Code of Conduct reminder - I hope that we keep that in mind through all community discussion! Thanks, Dave.
