@wking thanks for the suggestion but the election already has happened and the announcement to intend to acquire happened afterwards. It is only fair to run a new election given the chance of circumstances (we also had a tie for the 6th position in the previous election).

I've reached out to Red Hat and they will leave @mrunalp and @vbatts on the @opencontainers/tob, with @philips relinquishing his seat. We will move forward with the election with the schedule above for the newly available seat.

Thank you so much @philips for being part of OCI since the beginning and getting it to where it is today.
