<commit_before># 2019 VOTERS GUIDE - KUBERNETES STEERING COMMITTEE ELECTION

## Purpose

The role of this election is to fill out the four (4) seats due for
reelection this year on the [Kubernetes Steering Committee]. Each elected
member will serve a two (2) year term.

## Background

This election will shape the future of Kubernetes as a community and project.
While SIGs and WGs help shape the technical direction of the project, the
[Steering Committee Charter] covers the health of the project and community
as a whole. Some direct responsibilities of steering members to consider as you are deciding
whether to run or who to vote for:

* Through the chartering review process, delegate ownership of, responsibility for
  and authority over areas of the project to specific entities.
* Define, evolve, and defend the non-technical vision / mission and the values
  of the project.
* Charter and refine policy for defining new community groups.
  and establish transparency and accountability policies for such groups
* Define and evolve project and group governance
  structures and policies.
* Act as a final non-technical escalation point for any Kubernetes repository
* Request funds and other support from the CNCF (e.g. marketing, press, etc.)
* Define and enforce requirements for community groups to be in good standing 
  such as having an approved charter.

For more context, please see the [current steering committee backlog] or a
previous [governance meeting video] which led to this whole process.
