Solid CG Chair Election 2023 - eligible voters and representatives from an affiliation

Hi all,

This is an announcement about the CG chair election as per the Solid CG 
charter [1].

As part of the Solid CG Chair Election Procedure [2], we are now in the 
process of coming up with the final eligible voter list by end of 
2023-11-14. We want to ensure that affiliations get to cast a ballot by 
their preferred representative.

As per CG charter, affiliated participants get one vote. There is thus 
one eligible voter per group of affiliated participants. By default the 
representative from an affiliation with more than one participant is the 
one with the smallest user id (based on W3C API). Affiliations have the 
right to choose another representative in place of the default by making 
a request to update [3] by 2023-11-14. The list of affiliations with 
more than one participant in the CG is as follows (for your convenience):

Adobe
Aggadom
Brickdoc
Defense Information Systems Agency
Digita
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI)
Ghent University
Graphmetrix, Inc.
Inrupt Inc.
Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (Inria)
Janeiro Digital
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Muze
OpenLink Software Inc.
REDPENCIL
Sakak
Startin'blox
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
W3C
WU (Wirschaftsuniversität Wien) - Vienna University of Economics and 
Business

The final list of eligible voters will be based on the official list of 
CG participants collected from the W3C API [4], and the code for it is 
available from [5]. This information is also available from [6][7].

Thus, everyone is welcome to review the code and data, and if you notice 
any errors, please inform us (CG) with your findings.

There will be a follow-up email on 2023-11-15 for chair nominations 
where anyone can "self-nominate to make a statement regarding their 
background and why they are running, on the group mailing list" if they 
would like to serve the CG as a co-chair. Additional ways to engage with 
the CG is possible as mentioned in [2].

If you have any questions or comments, please join us in chat [8] or CG 
weekly meeting [9].
