I can't comment on this, but, just as a reminder: Submission of candidatures is still open (until 23th, afaik)

In theory yes. In reality not really.
Users can become a candidate for the board election until 2007-06-23 23:59 UTC.
But the also need to get the "confirmed status", what seems to be not so easy to get when you see that 50% of the current candidates are not yet confirmed.
True, but it isn't a big deal either. For neutrality I would like not to disclose what are going on behind without consent of each candidate, but personally I expect at least both Yann and Kate have understanding why they are not yet "confirmed". I think as an individual this kind of bureaucracy is a necessary evil which brings benefits also, specially to avoid favoritism to particular candidates and partial treatment of candidates each.
Also on an individual basis I would like to remind you all from the same reason Election Committee do not invite any other personnel to list "candidate" names to the endorsement pages. All such hasty nomination should be discouraged, and soon removed with submitted endorsements. Some editors would be happy to check if such happened on their own endorsements.
Love,
