6 Clarification of the clarification: Although it's true that there will
7 only be 5 Trustees this year, voters should still rank all of the
8 candidates. The fact that somebody ranked seemant above me, even if we
9 were ranked sixth and seventh by that voter, could still have an impact
10 on the results (if my understanding of how Condorcet's pair-wise
11 rankings works is correct).

13 As an additional reminder, voting is how one becomes a member of the
14 Gentoo Foundation. If by chance you want to be a member, but you don't
15 really want to vote, just submit a ballot with all candidates on the
16 same line. (It should work to submit a blank ballot as well, but I
17 haven't tested that.)

21 PS. Thanks to seemant for getting things rolling and for coordinating
22 with infra to determine who exactly are eligible voters.
