+To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org
+Subject: Call for (self-)nominations for a Technical Committee seat
+
+Dear Debian Contributors,
+
+Our Constitution imposes an expiry on Technical Committee terms, and it's that 
+time of the year again: Keith Packard <keithp>'s term will expire on December 
+31st 2017. The Technical Committee would like to thank Keith for serving since 
+November 2013, in addition to all the other work he does for Debian.
+
+To fill this seat, we are soliciting nominations, including self-nominations. 
+To nominate yourself or someone else, please send an e-mail to
+debian-ctte-private@debian.org with the subject "TC Nomination of loginname", 
+where loginname is the nominee's Debian account login¹. Please let us know in 
+the body of the e-mail why the nominee would be a good fit for the TC, 
+specifically instances where the nominee was able to help resolve 
+disagreements, both technical and non-technical. We would like to start our 
+selection process on or about the first of December.
+
+Being a member of the TC does require a time commitment. Members should be 
+able to follow e-mail discussions on an ongoing basis and respond within a 
+couple of days so that discussions progress. Members should ideally be able to 
+spend 10 hours a month for relatively busy months, but typical time 
+requirements will be less.
+
+We are in the process of documenting how the TC implements the nomination 
+process as outlined in §6.2, including clarifying what is made public (such as 
+nominations) and when. Any nominee is of course free to drop off the process 
+at any point in time.
+
+Regards,
+        OdyX, for the TC
