So it's possible to be admin/mod an be in hildon and council at the same time? If so I will withdraw all my votes which is exactly one since it's against what I believe in. 
May the votes be with you and let the best man win.

I don't think we can mass pm on tmo, and even if we could I don't think waking up the thousands of inactive members here would benefit the community in any way. We've already been accused for spamming by sending out ballots. Elections have agood visibility on tmo, community ML and irc so the only thing left is personal pestering of possible candidates.

Maybe a small banner on homepage would be good? If there are 2 maybe 3 can fit also?

Yeah, perhaps only send the notice via the same mechanism used to send the ballots (which incidentally I never got).
But I'm talking only in the instance where the balance is quite heavily skewed one way or the other...
*Will that mean they get those privileges back again once done, & those that took their place also keep theirs?
Not sure. I guess having more & more mods over time can't be a BAD thing, can it?

I think there should always be at least one or two top-tier mods who keep their status regardless of whether they're serving or not, just as a insurance mechanism against any new mods who end-up causing mayhem rather than harmony.

Yes, but the idea is to leverage the maemo infra in order to send out a much larger smoke signal
That's assuming the balance of nominees -as its stands- it too skewed one way or the other.
I doubt very much I have the right skill-set, & even if I did I doubt I'd be terribly effectual, as I just wouldn't put enough time into it.
Plus I wouldn't ever nominate, unless I was "absolutely sure" I could be effectual...
Glad to hear you say that, personally, I think that's the most righteous thing to do...
But as someone suggested & as a compromise, perhaps only remove mod rights to the community sub-forum (I dont know how well that would work in practice, I have my doubts)
Even better than that, would be to find someone else to step into your moderator role.
You've got heaps of time between now & when the results are in to do that, & it wouldn't matter if that search was still going whist you are in Council, so long as it didn't drag on.
This is all from my personal experience and business dealings with him.

Anyway, yet to hear from Woody et al to confirm whether it is in fact more practical to keep such rights while in office, that may be the case.
Or as already suggested, the other option is some kind of watered down privileges i.e. no rights for Community sub (although not sure how well that'd work in practice).
So feedback to some of my earlier posts? (not so much the ones about mod privileges) It's been at least 13hrs now IIRC.
Night.

tmo gets handled by tmo maintainer (incl appointing mods and all)
If a tmo mod doesn't behave you complain at tmo maintainer. If tmo maintainer doesn't behave, you complain at council. If any of the involved persons has a seat in council, then that person won't participate in that particular case getting discussed in council. Simple as that. Please stop constructing problems from nothing.
Can we discuss candidates now, and start asking them questions so they can answer and the electorate (you) can make up their mind whom to vote for?
cheers
