as expected [2] and even we tried to put some mitigation plan in place
[3], we have not succeeded. To come up with some workable solution we
have decided to cancel the currently running Autumn 2017 Elections and
start it again in early January 2018. In upcoming days I will publish
a schedule for the January 2018 Elections as well as more details on
how we are going to organize it.

IMHO questionnaires can and should be reduced to a minimum amount of
relevant writing. For instance:
* What experience makes you suited for this elected body?
* What goals do you have for being on this body if elected?
Deflating expectations around these governing groups would help make
them feel more accessible and interesting to contributors. After all,
we're talking about voluntary positions in a free software project,
not bodies with vast legislative or executive power.
