Who can vote?
Positions of EAB and BCC are elected directly by the members of the TYPO3 Association. If you are a member you will get a voting token by email in January 2014. You can then cast your vote between 2014-01-17 and 2014-02-01.
Positions of the Board are elected by the current EAB in a secret election during the TYPO3 Associations next General Assembly on 2014-02-01 in Frankfurt, Germany
Good to know
People who are elected to an official position in the TYPO3 Association can no longer receive funding by the TYPO3 Association (except travel cost reimbursement). If you accept your election, you have to become a personal member (bronze membership) of the TYPO3 Association.
