This is going to be awkward to explain, as I'm going to do something completely out of character and unexpected from me.
The response for nominating mod candidates was lower than expected, as I have overestimated the number of active non-EU members we have. Out of the five nominated candidates, only two are (presumably) from non-EU time zones.
Given the purpose of this round of mod recruitment is to appoint mods to cover non-EU time zones, I have decided to forgo the formal voting phase and directly appoint our two non-EU mod candidates to their posts. This appointment will take effect on June 30/July 1.
Our prospective mod appointees will be @Bob_Magilica and @Nekrosmas, to cover the NA and SEA time zones.
This thread will serve as an inquiry process to allow our two appointees to address any potential questions and concerns.
