2024 SC Election Files

[creydr]

Adding the initial files required to run the 2024 Steering Committee election.

Before this can be merged, we need the following approvals:

• @knative/steering-committee - confirm that details are correct and acceptable to SC (number of seats, schedule, etc.)
• @knative/steering-committee - approve / nominate @geekygirldawn and me as election officers for this election
• @jberkus - confirm that I haven't mangled any of the things needed by Elekto, and confirm that you are available on the key dates if there are any Elekto problems. Note: I've left you on the elections email alias and in the owners file in case anyone reports Elekto issues via email or you need to merge any urgent changes due to issues with Elekto.

I got the voters list from knative.devstats.cncf.io, by taking everybody who had at least 25 contributions in the last year (SC: voter-eligibility)

@jberkus would you be an election officer too? At least here we configure you too :)

/approve

I'll let someone else do the /lgtm once we've decided whether Josh is in or out as an election officer (it seems mixed here).

Thank you!

I don't have much time to devote to this, and technically, I'm probably not actually eligible to be an election officer, since I haven't been participating in Knative enough to meet the eligible voter requirement.

From /~https://github.com/knative/community/blob/main/STEERING-COMMITTEE.md#eligibility-to-vote

the Steering Committee will appoint between one and three Election Officer(s) to administer the election. Elections Officers will be Knative community members in good standing who are eligible to vote ...

Although, I'm guessing that the SC can consider me an exception given my contributions as an election officer in the past :)

Since the requirement is to have one election officer, we could just make @creydr the election officer, and then @jberkus and I can provide support / answer questions as needed. If you want another election office, I can try to help out, but I don't have a ton of time to devote to it.

[dsimansk]

@creydr feel free to add me as an election officer to help out. I don't plan to submit any candidacy and my term is ending, so hopefully there isn't any conflict of being on the SC roster currently.

@knative/steering-committee FYI & pls raise any objections to the above.

[geekygirldawn]

@dsimansk - unfortunately, you also aren't eligible as a current SC member:

Elections Officers will be Knative community members in good standing who are eligible to vote, are not running for Steering in that election, who are not currently part of the Steering Committee and can make a public promise of impartiality.

However, it doesn't mean that you can't help out. I think that if we make @creydr the official election officer that with @dsimansk helping out and @jberkus and I for questions, I think we should be ok?

Works for me 👍
I can also try to reach out to others if they can support as an election officer before the election starts
