I'm running for the OSI board... maybe [Ed: OSI is rogue like that]
Nowhere on the "OSI’s board of directors in 2025: details about the elections" page do they list a timezone for closure of nominations; they simply list Monday 17 February.
The OSI's contact address is in California, so it seems arbitrary and capricious to retroactively define all of these processes as being governed by UTC.
I was not able to participate in the "potential board director" info sessions accordingly, but people who attended heard that the importance of accommodating differing TZ's was discussed during the info session, and that OSI representatives mentioned they try to accommodate TZ's of everyone. This seems in sharp contrast with the above policy.
I urge the OSI to reconsider this policy and allow me to stand for an Individual seat in the current cycle.
