+  about_page_title: Haskell Foundation Board Call for Nominations
+  about_page_content: |
+
+    The Haskell Foundation seeks nominations for the Foundation Board.
+
+    The Haskell Foundation is a new non-profit organisation that seeks
+    to articulate the benefits of functional programming to a broader
+    audience, to erase barriers to entry, and to support Haskell as a
+    solidly reliable basis for mission-critical applications.
+
+    ### The Foundation Board
+
+    #### Remit of the Board
+
+    The Board provides the strategic leadership for the Foundation.  More specifically
+
+    * Governance: leadership and direction - set strategy, provide guidance
+    * Staff: appoint senior members of Foundation staff
+    * Define, curate and track Foundation goals
+    * Seek out opportunities to further the goals of the Foundation
+    * Represent the Haskell community to the world: liaise with sponsors, public bodies (ACM, standards committees) etc
+    * Ensure success and long-term continuity of the Foundation
+    * Receive and review financial accounts
+
+    #### Membership
+
+    * Being a member of the Board is not an honorary post; it involves real work.  There will typically be ad-hoc or permanent working groups, on which Board members are expected to serve or chair.
+    * The Board needs to be big enough to have a breadth of expertise and representation, but small enough to be effective.  We will start with a Board of 12 members.
+    * Once appointed, board members should act in the best interests of the Foundation and the entire Haskell community; they are not appointed to represent the interests of a particular group.
+    * Members will have fixed terms, to ensure a steady turnover of members.  There is a balance here: it’s a pity to lose strong, well-qualified members too quickly.  The details remain to be settled, but will be something like: three or four year terms, but with the possibility of being renewed once, and the possibility of returning after a gap.
+    * Terms will be staggered so that a similar number of members reach the end of their term at regular intervals.  “Regular intervals” might mean annually or every two years; again there is a balance between providing a regular “way in” and the overheads of nomination, selection, and onboarding.To bootstrap this process the Interim Board may invite some members to serve for shorter initial terms.
+    * No two members should be paid employees of the same organisation
+
+    The Executive Director reports to the board, attends all board
+    meetings, but does not vote.
+
+    The initial membership of the Board will be chosen by the Interim
+    Board, based on open nominations against written criteria.  (After
+    this bootstrap process, the Board itself chooses its new members,
+    based on a similar call for nominations.)  This document is the call
+    for nominations.
+
+    #### Key Roles
+
+    * Chair (elected annually by the Foundation Board members)
+    * Treasurer
+    * Secretary
+
+    #### Transparency
+    The Board should conduct its business as transparently as
+    possible. Specifically:
+
+    * It should publish public minutes of meetings and decisions.
+    * It should be open about its finances: where money comes from, and what it is spent on.
+    * It should conduct most conversations on a publicly-readable mailing list.
+
+    In all cases there may be some aspects of the Board’s work that should
+    properly be private, e.g. relating to security, staff, or money.  The
+    Board will have to make judgements about this, but the strong default
+    is to work in public.
+
+    ### Nominations for the Board
+
+    Please submit your nomination to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]),
+    by **Monday 11 January 2021**.
+
+    Your nomination should be accompanied by a brief CV and a covering
+    letter that says
+
+    * How you fit the criteria below.
+    * Why you would like to be a Board member
+    * What you feel you could contribute
+
+    Please indicate whether you would consider the role of Secretary
+    (legal knowledge/experience useful) or Treasurer (financial
+    knowledge/experience useful).
+
+    These nominations will be evaluated by the [Interim
+    Board](/who-we-are), which will disband once the Foundation Board
+    is in place.  Its members are:
+
+    * Lennart Augustsson (Epic Games)
+    * Chris Dornan (IRIS Connect)
+    * Jasper van der Jeugt (haskell.org)
+    * Gabriele Keller (Utrecht University)
+    * Ed Kmett (Miri)
+    * Simon Marlow (Facebook)
+    * Simon Peyton Jones (Microsoft Research)
+    * Stephanie Weirich (University of Pennsylvania)
+
+    ### Criteria
+
+    Nominations for membership of the Board will be evaluated against
+    the following criteria:
+
+    * You have a positive drive and vision for the Haskell community and ecosystem
+    * You have a track record of contribution to the Haskell community and ecosystem
+    * You are widely trusted and respected in the community.
+    * You have enough time and energy to devote to being a member of the board; it is not an honorary position!
+
+    The Interim Board will seek to appoint a Board that, collectively,
+    satisfies these criteria:
+
+    * Includes individuals with the skills, expertise and experience (e.g. technical, legal, organisational, community-building) that the Board needs.
+    * Reflects the rich diversity (e.g. of age, gender, geographical spread) that is in the Haskell community.
+    * Includes individuals who are well-equipped to reflect the priorities of Haskell’s various constituencies, including
+        - Companies that use Haskell in production, and Haskell consultancies; giving this group a stronger voice is one of the HF’s main goals.
+        - Users of Haskell.  That might include companies, but also includes the broader open-source community, hobbyists, etc.
+        - Sponsors: companies (or even individuals) who are funding the Foundation.
+        - People who build and run the infrastructure of the Haskell ecosystem: compilers, libraries, packaging and distribution, IDEs etc.
+        - Educators, including school, university, and commercial training courses.
+        - Functional programming researchers who build on and/or develop Haskell.
+
+    NB: nominations are also welcome from individuals who meet other
+    criteria but do not represent any particular constituency.
+
+    Simultaneously hitting all these criteria is nigh impossible.
+    However, each subsequent round of nominations for new Board
+    members offers a fresh chance to rectify any imbalances.
