[off-topic] W3C Advisory Board election

I have to first apologize for using this forum for not-directly-immersive
business. However, I think it is related, as this concerns every effort at
the W3C, and in particular, I'd like to expand some of our experiences in
running the Immersive WG and CG to the entire W3C.

There is a current election running for the W3C Advisory Board.  I'm one of
the candidates (I've been on the board before, but not for the last
year.).  Elections like this tend to be decided by not a huge number of
voters (typically around 20% of Members vote, at best), so I think it's
important to drum up participation.

Of course, I'd also like to ask, for those of you who have any impact on
your organization's AC decision-making, to consider voting for me as your
first choice in the election.  (Note that first choice vs. subsequent
choices makes a HUGE difference in STV-based elections.  Second or third is
better than not at all, of course, but first is massively impactful in the
procedure.)

I've explained my platform in more depth here
<https://cwilso.com/2019/05/17/please-vote-for-me-as-your-first-choice-for-the-w3c-advisory-board/>,
and of course I'm more than happy to discuss privately or publicly any
particular points.  Votes are due by May 30th.

Thanks, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled immersion. :)
