Interested candidates can check their eligibility and procedure to submit the nomination on the guidelines page [2]. We are open to accept candidate submissions till January 28, 2013, 23:59 (UTC). Questions to the candidates can also be posted.

Confirmation of existing stewards [3] is scheduled to run concurrently with the election.
