+this year on the [Kubernetes Code of Conduct Committee]. Each elected
+member will serve a two (2) year term.
+
+<!-- TODO(cocc): Add blurb about election timing -->
+
+## Election Platform
+
+We will be using [Elekto] to conduct the election. Elekto relies entirely on GitHub Oauth for
+voting, and as such does not use email at all. Elekto also handles exceptions,
+eligibility checks, and other aspects of the election. See the [Elekto voting documentation]
+for how to use it.
+
+## Eligibility
+
+- Candidate commits to putting the interests of the community above the interests of their employer for all Code of Conduct Committee activities.

+- Does not have to be part of the Kubernetes or CNCF community
+- Characteristics which would be nice in any nominations:
+  - Previous experience on an Ethics Committee or Code of Conduct Committee is appreciated
+  - Has demonstrated integrity, professionalism, and positive influence within the community is appreciated
+  - Experience with the tools which we use to communicate (Zoom, Slack, GitHub, etc.) within the Kubernetes community is appreciated
+

+
+Candidate nomination, bio, and election close deadlines will be done using Anywhere on Earth timing, meaning it is still valid to submit new nominations/bios/votes as long as it is still the last day anywhere on the planet (i.e. at the end of that day in UTC-12).
