The Board of Directors of the Haskell Foundation is pleased to announce the nomination process for Board seats.
45+
As per the <a href="https://gitlab.haskell.org/hf/meta/-/blob/main/board.md#7-board-membership-lifecycle">
46+
Board membership lifecycle rules</a>, and since the current board has 13 members, at most one position may
47+
be filled by this call. Note that the Board may also choose to not elect any new members at this stage, since it is
48+
not about to drop below the minimum of 8 members.
49+
</p>
50+
51+
<p>
52+
The Board provides the strategic leadership for the Foundation, and is the final decision-making body for everything
53+
the Foundation does. More specifically, it ensures that the Foundation is working toward achieving its mission,
54+
and it appoints and supervises senior members of Foundation staff.
55+
</p>
56+
57+
<h2>The Foundation Board</h2>
58+
<h3>Membership</h3>
59+
60+
<ul>
61+
<li> Being a member of the Foundation Board means giving you the opportunity to contribute directly to the
62+
strategic direction of the Foundation, to help build the Haskell community, and to help promote the broader
63+
adoption of functional programming. </li>
64+
<li> Being a member of the Board is not an honorary post; it involves real work. There will typically be ad-hoc or
65+
permanent working groups, on which Board members are expected to serve or chair. </li>
66+
<li> Currently, the Board meets for one hour every two weeks, with attendance taken.
67+
Board members may excuse themselves from meeting by an email to the Chair, but such excuses should ideally be
68+
infrequent. </li>
69+
<li> Once appointed, Board members should act in the best interests of the Foundation and the entire Haskell
70+
community; they are not appointed to represent the interests of a particular group. </li>
71+
</ul>
72+
73+
<h3>Criteria</h3>
74+
<p> Nominations for membership of the Board will be evaluated against the following criteria: </p>
75+
76+
<ul>
77+
<li>You have a positive drive and vision for the Haskell community and ecosystem</li>
78+
<li>You have a track record of contribution to the Haskell community and ecosystem</li>
79+
<li>You are widely trusted and respected in the community.</li>
80+
<li>You have enough time and energy to devote to being a member of the board; it is not an honorary position!</li>
81+
</ul>
82+
83+
<p>
84+
Moreover, the Haskell Foundation Board aims to reflect the priorities of Haskell’s various constituencies, including:
85+
</p>
86+
87+
<ul>
88+
<li>Companies that use Haskell in production, and Haskell consultancies; giving this group a stronger voice is one of the HF’s main goals.</li>
89+
<li>Users of Haskell. That might include companies, but also includes the broader open-source community, hobbyists, etc.</li>
90+
<li>Sponsors: companies (or even individuals) who are funding the Foundation.</li>
91+
<li>People who build and run the infrastructure of the Haskell ecosystem: compilers, libraries, packaging and distribution, IDEs etc.</li>
92+
<li>Educators, including school, university, and commercial training courses.</li>
93+
<li>Functional programming researchers who build on and/or develop Haskell.</li>
94+
</ul>
95+
96+
<p>NB: nominations are also welcome from individuals who meet other criteria but do not represent any particular constituency.</p>
97+
98+
<p>Simultaneously hitting all these criteria is nigh impossible. However, each subsequent round of nominations for new Board members offers a fresh chance to rectify any imbalances.</p>
99+
100+
<h3>Nominations</h3>
101+
<p>Please submit your nomination to <a href="mailto:nominations@haskell.foundation">nominations@haskell.foundation</a>, by 1st March 2022.</p>
102+
103+
<p>Your nomination should be accompanied by a brief CV and a covering letter that says</p>
104+
105+
<ul>
106+
<li>How you fit the above criteria.</li>
107+
<li>Why you would like to be a Board member</li>
108+
<li>What you feel you could contribute</li>
109+
</ul>
110+
111+
<p>
112+
