Dear WMIN Members and Candidates,
Happy to see the discussions on reactivating SIGs
Since election date is already announced and candidate nominations are
already in place , I have a personal request for all candidates to refrain
from SIG nominations till elections as a fair practice.
I am saying this because of noticing GLAM hair nomination and seconding of
Arun by 2 candidates ie . Viswaprabha and Netha Hussain.

Netha also expressed interest in nominating someone from woman members for
Gender gap chair in another thread
Even though these actions are best in best interest of the movement, it
will be better if candidates not nominating members to SIG positions at
this point of time ,
Even though WMIN does not have any guideline or rule about this in election
process , such moratoriums exist in real world elections once election is
announced to prevent win trading . I am not saying Win trading is happening
here . But it will be good if each candidate refrain from such situations
till 23rd , till election process is over . I dont have any objections for
members other than candidates participating in SIG nominations
