Hi,

        According to the constitution (5.2. Appointment), project
 leader elections should begin "nine weeks before the leadership post
 becomes vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately."

        Last year, pre-ballots were issued on 7 Mar 2001, with the
 real ballot going out on march the 8th. The end of the voting period
 was on the 28 of March, 2001; and The results were announced on March
 39. 

        This means that today (the time of writing it is Wed Feb  6
 17:26:17 UTC 2002), we are roughly two weeks short of the lead time
 required. 


        Prospective leaders should be familiar with the constitution,
 but, just to review: there's a three week period when interested
 developers nominate themselves, followed by a three week period with
 no nominations [intended for campaigning], followed by three weeks
 for the election itself.

        Please make sure that nominations are sent to (or cc:'d to)
 debian-vote, and are cryptographically signed.

        Thanks,

        manoj
