| Candidates may be anyone who is in the Fedora Account System and has completed the [[Legal/Licenses/CLA|Fedora CLA]].

| | |
| The [[Board]] should publish, at the time nominations open, a statement of those issues on which it has worked since the last elections, and some of the issues still at hand, subject to the normal restrictions of privacy, privilege, or other sensitivities. Typically there are a number of issues that have no such restrictions.
