+Subject: Call for nominations for technical committee seat
+
+First and foremost, the technical committee would like to thank Manoj
+Srivastava for serving on the committee in addition to his many other
+services to Debian. With his resignation from the technical
+committee,[1] there is currently one empty seat which can be filled.
+
+To fill this seat, we are soliciting nominations. To nominate yourself
+or someone else, please send e-mail to debian-ctte-private@debian.org
+with the subject "CTTE Nomination of loginname", where loginname is
+the nominee's Debian account login.[2] Please let us know in the body
+of the e-mail why the nominee would be a good fit for the committee,
+specifically instances where the nominee was able to help resolve
+disagreements, both technical and non-technical, which you were a
+party to or observer of.
+
+We anticipate starting our selection process on or about the first of
+October. After the selection, the committee will then recommend a
+nominee to the project leader, who may appoint the nominee (ยง6.2).
