Dear Schemers,

As I send this mail, it is just past 12:00 UTC on 16 February 2026, so registrations and nominations to the Scheme steering committee are now closed.

A list of all registered voters is available here: <https://r7rs.org/sc/voters.html>.
If you submitted a registration, but you are not in this list, please reply and let us know as soon as possible so the error can be corrected.
Likewise, if you submitted a registration but your (public) information is displayed incorrectly, please let us know.

Nominees still have until the start of voting on 1 March to accept their nominations and provide statements, or decline.

The following candidates have accepted nominations so far:
• Arthur A. Gleckler
• Marc Feeley
• Shiro Kawai

We are still awaiting responses from the following nominees:
• Alexis King
• Andy Wingo
• Bob Burger
• Christine Lemmer-Webber
• Laurent Bloch
• Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen
• Matthias Felleisen
• Sam Tobin-Hochstadt

The following people declined nominations to the Steering Committee:
• Christian Queinnec
• Daphne Preston-Kendal
• Manuel Serrano
• Matthew Flatt
• Michael Sperber
• Shriram Krishnamurthi
• William Byrd

The following potential candidate was unreachable at her publically-available email address:
• Dipanwita Sarkar

Likewise, if you submitted any nomination of any person who is not on these lists, please reply and let us know as soon as possible – ideally within a day, so that your nominee can be informed and not be unfairly disadvantaged by having less time to write their statement.

To reiterate, *new* registrations and nominations are closed. Corrections to the existing register of voters and candidates are still open.

Best wishes

Daphne
