+    <h1>Candidates for The Document Foundation 2016 Membership Committee Election</h1>
+
+    <p>
+Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for The Document Foundation Membership Committee. A short summary statement from each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on <a href="http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/">board-discuss@documentfoundation.org</a>. 
+    </p>
+
+    <p> When deciding whom you should vote for, please carefully
+    consider the various tasks Membership Committee seat holders must
+    perform. This <a href="../overview-mc.html">overview</a> may be
+    helpful. Keep in mind that the committee will decide on granting
+    membership, and renewal thereof, and also plays an important role
+    as a counter-balance to the board of directors. It is a good idea
+    to strive for a well-balanced committee, consisting of people with
+    various backgrounds, skills, and perspectives. </p>

+  <body>
+
+    <h1>Rules &amp; Timeline for The Document Foundation 2016 Membership Committee Election</h1>
+
+    <h2>Election Rules</h2>
+
+    <ol>
+      <li>
+      See the <a href="http://www.documentfoundation.org/satzung.pdf">Document Foundation statutes</a> (and the non-binding
+      <a href="http://www.documentfoundation.org/statutes.pdf">English version</a>)
+      for general rules.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+	There are 5 committee seats and 4 deputy roles that are to be filled during these elections.
+      </li>
+<li>As per § 12 II of our statues, the Membership Committee's term lasts two years. The current committee started its duty on September 19, 2014. Therefore, the old committee remains in charge until the end of September 18, 2016, so the new committee will be in charge the day after that, which is September 19, 2016.</li>
+
+<li>As per § 6 III, only members of the Board of Trustees of The Document Foundation, as well as current members of any of its bodies, are eligible to be elected into the Membership Committee, and the election is overseen by the Board of Directors (§ 12 II).</li>
+
+<li>The active electoral right is reserved to those who have been members of the Board of Trustees before this announcement (§ 12 II).</li>
+
+<li>§ 6 III also states that members of the Board of Directors or their deputies may not be members of the Membership Committee and vice versa. This means that current members of the Board of Directors are eligible to be elected, but given that with the acceptance of their new role they lose their current role in the board, they would have to step down from the Board of Directors the minute before accepting to become a member of the Membership Committee.</li>
+
+<li>There is one more notable limitation: Per § 8 IV of the statutes, a maximum of 1/3 members of the Membership Committee is allowed to work on an employment basis for the same company, organization, entities, affiliates or subdivisions.</li>
+
+<li>Nomination of candidates fulfilling the above requirements, as well as self nomination is welcome. In total, at least five Membership Committee members are required, and given there are enough candidates, up to four deputies can be elected (§ 12 II).</li>
+
+<li>Re-election of current members of the Membership Committee is explicitly permitted (§ 12 II).</li>
+
+<li>Votes will be held confidential during the elections, but an anonymized archive of all submitted votes will be made publicly accessible at its conclusion.</li>
+
+<li>The Document Foundation Board of Directors is responsible for counting the votes.</li>
+
+<li>All discussion related to the elections should be held on board-discuss@documentfoundation.org. Members are invited to ask questions to one or all candidates on that list.</li>
+    </ol>
+
+    <h2>Timeline</h2>
+    <ul>

+    <li>2. 2016-08-31, 24:00 CET/UTC+2: end of the nomination phase (one week before the election starts, as per § 12 II)</li>

+Your Document Foundation 2016 Membership Committee Elections Voting Token
+Dear $member,
+
+The election of The Document Foundation Membership Committee will soon
+be open.
+
+Voting will run from 2016-09-08, 00:00 CET/UTC+2
+until 2016-09-14, 24:00 CET/UTC+2.
+
+To vote, please go to
+https://elections.documentfoundation.org/vote.php?election_id=8
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+https://elections.documentfoundation.org/2016-mc/candidates.html
+
+When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
+
+   E-mail: $email
+   Vote token: $token
+
+The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the
+voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of
+preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to
+confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your
+choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you
+to verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To
+ensure anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your
+identifiers, so please keep this token safe. Once you have voted, you
+will not be able to vote again.
+
+Thank you for your vote!
+
+Regards,
+  Thorsten Behrens
+  On behalf of The Document Foundation Board of Directors
