    Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
    
    On 30 June 2017, the following four seats on the W3C Advisory Board (AB) 
    expire and are up for election:
    
    - Michael Champion (Microsoft)
    - Charles McCathie Nevile (Yandex)
    - Chris Wilson (Google)
    - Judy Zhu (Alibaba)
    
    This is a Call for Nominations for people to stand for election as we 
    announced last month [1].
    
    If your organization is interested in participating on the AB, please 
    use the following form to nominate (or renominate) one person: 
       https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/ab2017/

    
    And ask the nominee to complete this second form:
       https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/abnominee2017/

    
    The deadline for nominations is 23:59, Boston time on 30 April 2017.
    
    All terms are for two years, starting 1 July 2017 and ending 30 June 
    2019. Each form includes details about the election, instructions for 
    nominating an individual, and links to additional resources.
    
    VOTING MECHANISM: Per the 1 March 2017 Process Document, we will use 
    Single Transferable Vote (STV) [2] system for AB and TAG elections as 
    described in Section 2.5.2 of the Process Document [3].
    
    PUBLIC NOMINATION STATEMENTS: All nomination statements will be made 
    public at the start of the election. Discussion of nominee statements on 
    w3c-ac-forum is also customary (see the list policy [4]).
    
    The Advisory Board provides ongoing guidance to the Team on issues of 
    strategy, management, legal matters, process, and conflict resolution. 
    As the Open Web Platform and W3C expand, now is an opportune time for 
    organizations with diverse technology and business interests, in diverse 
    geographies, to provide strategic advice.
    
    More information about the AB is available on their home page [5].
    
    This Call for Nominations follows section 2.5.2 of the W3C Process 
    Document [3]. For more about election mechanics, see "How to Organize an 
    AB or TAG election" [6].
