The current situation was making the best of a bad set of circumstances,
the plan is to hold elections and nothing has changed in that regard.

This was discussed at the last TSC meeting and we reviewed the TSC
meeting minutes where it was recorded that:

"""
Election wise, we'll elect the seats in the order from the board
announcement email until we have 5 elected members. We will rely on the
board to call the first election in May. 
"""

which the TSC has reminded the board about last week.

Cheers,
