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](mailto:lt@zeek.org), or contact me directly at [johanna@zeek.org](mailto:johanna@zeek.org). Johanna Amann (for the Zeek LT)
