Number of seats to elect
========================
The current TC will serve as TC until the elections in Fall 2013. At that
point, the two TC members who still had 6 months to serve get a 6-month seat,
and an election is run to determine the 11 other members. Candidates ranking
1st to 6th would get one-year seats, and candidates ranking 7th to 11th would
get 6-month seats. Spring 2014 elections should see the normal renewal of 7
seats.
The Q3 2019 elections elected 6 seats, for a total of 13 members for the
Q3-Q4 2019 TC membership. Over 2020 the number of TC seats will be
gradually reduced to 9 members, with the following number of seats to elect:
- Q1 2020 elections: 5 seats (out of 7 incumbents): 11 members total
- Q3 2020 elections: 4 seats (out of 6 incumbents): 9 members total
Each year after 2020, the Q1 election should renew 5 seats, and the Q3 election
should renew 4 seats.
