Hi Everyone,
We previously announced and started the process for the August 2025 LT election. In this election 3 of our 6 individual seats were up for re-election.
During the nomination phase of the election process, we only received 2 valid nominations in total. Since these nominations were by individuals that are well known to the LT (Aashish Sharma and Fatema Bannat Wala), the LT chose to short-circuit the election process, electing both members to individual seats and leaving one seat vacant.
We backfill the vacant seat in the upcoming August 2026 election – this election will be announced on our blog and on this forum.
After this election, the allocation of the individual seats is:
- Aashish Sharma (next up for election August 2027)
- Fatema Bannat Wala (next up for election August 2027)
- Johanna Amann (next up for election August 2026)
- Robin Sommer (next up for election August 2026)
- Seth Grover (next up for election August 2026)
- Vacant (till August 2026)
The voting role-based seats are now assigned as follows:
Vern Paxson (Founder’s seat)
Christian Kreibich (Technical Lead seat)
In addition to this, the non-voting Community Lead seat is currently held by Michelle Pathe.
If you have any questions about this, please either contact us here, at lt@zeek.org, or contact me directly at johanna@zeek.org.
