+Hello OpenStack community,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of Designate for the Dalmatian
+cycle.
+
+I would like to continue to support the Designate team for the Dalmatian
+release. For the Caracal release, we have continued our code stability work
+and merged support for catalog zones (RFC 9432). Looking forward to Dalmatian,
+I want to focus on the multiple pools feature, especially working on increasing
+the test coverage for the feature.
+
+Thank you for your support and your consideration for Dalmatian,
+
+Michael Johnson (johnsom)
