(This is not a call-for-votes.  Please do not vote in reply to this
 message.)

Voting in the 2021 OpenJDK Governing Board Election begins momentarily.

If you're an OpenJDK Member [1] then you're eligible to vote in this
election and you should receive voting instructions via e-mail shortly.
If you don't receive them in the next twenty-four hours then please
contact registrar at openjdk.java.net for assistance.

There are four candidates for two seats this year [2], so per the OpenJDK
Bylaws [3] we will select two winners via Single Transferable Vote (STV)
[4], specifically the Meek algorithm [5].

STV is a form of ranked-choice voting, in which you order the candidates
that you wish to support in order of preference.  You need not rank every
candidate.  If you wish to support only two candidates, for example, then
add just those two to the ballot and then put them in your desired order.

Two technical notes:

  - The voting form requires that JavaScript be enabled in your browser.

  - Once you cast your vote you will not be able to revise it, so please
    be sure of your choices.

Voting starts at 00:01 UTC on Wednesday, 17 March, and runs for two
weeks, ending at 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 30 March [6].

- Mark
