I’m pleased to announce that I have emailed @sabdfl the list of nominees for the Community Council. As soon as he provides a shortlist of the nominees, I will create an election so that the Ubuntu Members can approve the candidates and then we’ll have the Community Council back!
According to the documentation on restaffing, we should expect the time to get the shortlist to be about 1 week. After that, voting by Ubuntu Members should occur over about a 2 week period.
That said, now is the time to make sure your Ubuntu Membership is up to date and that your Launchpad account includes an email, since if you look at the documentation to create an election, you’ll notice a script is used to scrape this information off of Launchpad. If either of those two conditions are not met, your ballot will not be sent.
If you have lapsed on your Ubuntu Membership, please contact the Ubuntu Membership Board immediately to get that resolved. Similarly, I would contact them if you would like to become a member (just keep in mind that you earn one for contributing, not just because you ask nice 
).
