Dear Stefano, all, I also support getting answers to the questions below as they are aligned with open and transparent practices we should have. In particular, losing 2 platinum members is a really bad signal and we should understand what happened.

Découvrez pourquoi cela est important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Dear Stefano, Regarding the Manix email, I think it would be great to know who are the candidates for elections in advance taking into account that the candidacy period is closed. On the other hand, can you share with us more information on which platinum members are becoming gold and when did they notify that?

Therefore, this means the list of candidates for gold member representation should already be final. Could you please share the list of received candidatures with all gold members? Additionally, it is important that we can formulate direct questions to the candidates through this mailing list, as their answers may help gold members decide whom to vote for. Again, to facilitate this exchange, messages to the fiware-gold-members mailing list from anyone on the list should not be moderated.

However, some new Platinum members may be joining the FIWARE Foundation after this election and before the next one takes place. That would equally alter the balance between Platinum and Gold member representatives in the BoD, which would be less fair for gold members. The last BoD was formed by 14 representatives (7 corresponding to Platinum members and 7 corresponding to gold member representatives). This was because there were 7 Platinum members at the time the gold member representatives election took place. However, as far as I understand, AWS stopped its Platinum membership effective at the beginning of this year, and probably their downgrading was announced months before. In that case, BoD members remained the same and this didn't seem to be a problem, right? After all, BoD gold member representatives are supposed to seek the benefit of the whole FIWARE Community, not just the agenda of their companies. Why should things be managed differently now? If we go for 4 gold member representatives this time, breaking the rule of considering current Platinum members at the time the elections are called, there should be a clear mechanism to reach the balance of seats in the BoD once one or several new Platinum members join. For example, running an election for a new gold member representative as soon as possible and not later than within a month. Since this is a sensitive question to all gold members, I expect this mail will find its way to reach all of them since my last email was moderated.
