I think it's to early to have that election; the Board (together with
FESCo) still didn't clarify what FESCo will be responsible for and where
other groups (release engineering for example) are in the hierarchy of
the whole game. That should be solved *before* a proper election is held
IMHO, as that is highly relevant.

To give a short example from a voters point of view: If FESCo is
responsible for the distribution itself (features, schedule) and its
packages I might vote for foo and bar, but not baz. But if FESCo just
handles packaging in practice I might go for bar and baz, but not for foo.

What FESCo will do in the future is also highly relevant for those
people that might want to consider self-nominating for FESCo.

Just my 2 cent.
