 Hildon Foundation Board of Directors Election Process

 1. Nominations will be accepted 2 weeks before the election begins from any
 community member with a karma of 100 or above.
        1.1. Nominees with a commercial interest in Maemo or Hildon
 Foundation, such as working for Nokia - or any other company involved with
 software development - must declare their interest when advertising their
 nomination. Failure to do so may result in the HFC, declaring their nomination
 invalid and so bar them from standing in the current election.

 2. Elections last for 1 week.

 3. Only community members who have had maemo.org accounts for over 3
 months and have karma of 10 or above, may vote.

 4. Each community member eligible to vote gets a single ballot.

 5. The 7 nominees voted for most, as counted by a single transferrable
 vote system are elected. (For special cases see HiFo bylaws.)

 6. There is no limit to the number of times a board member can stand for
 re-election.
