Hi Jon,
Thanks for sharing this! I'd like to nominate myself for the 2026 OpenSSL Foundation Advisory Committee. I've been actively involved in the OpenSSL community — contributing to discussions around AI policy, atomic operations, and other repo discussions — and I'd welcome the opportunity to represent the community more formally.
I'll go ahead and submit my nomination through the guide you linked. Looking forward to the election in September!
Best regards,
Josef
