It's the time of year when elections are opening for the OpenNTF board. We have five Member Director posts available this year. Those whose term is expiring are:

- Doug Robinson
- Jesse Gallagher
- Serdar Basegmez
- Kim Greene
- Heiko Voigt

Member director posts can be filled by anyone working for an OpenNTF member company. Companies can still become a member company prior to elections. Any company wishing to become a member company should contact a board member on Discord.

The terms of the three Contributor Director posts are also expiring. Anyone with an ICLA or CCLA can apply for the post, which has a one-year term. The current incumbents are:

- Roberto Boccadoro
- Chris Bekas
- Keith Brooks

In addition, long-time member of the OpenNTF Board Paul Withers has announced his intention to leave his position on the Board a year early. Paul has been a significant contributor to our community, is an IBM Champion, and before joining HCL was a Lifetime HCL Ambassador. He continues to lead the open source efforts inside HCL Software as well. We all offer our thanks to Paul for his contributions to the community in general and OpenNTF in particular.

Anyone interested in standing submit their names and a candidate statement to ip-manager at openntf.org.

The election schedule will be:
- Nominations open until 5pm EDT Friday 20th September
- Voting from Monday 23rd September to 5pm EDT Friday 27th September, if there are more candidates than posts
- Winners take office on 2nd October
