reason given is as follows:

I would like to nominate Cherie Revells as a committer on GEF.

project.

The vote is being held via the MyFoundation portal: voters *must* use the
portal for the votes to be properly recorded.  The voting will continue
until either all 3 existing Committers have voted or until they have been
given enough time to vote, even if they do not do so (defined as at least
one week). Because there are three or fewer existing Committers, they must
all vote and vote +1 for a successful election.

Eligible Committers must cast their votes through their My Foundation
portal page (do NOT just reply to this email; your vote will not be
correctly recorded unless you use the portal):

    http://portal.eclipse.org/

The project Committers eligible to vote are:

    Nick Boldt
    Ian Bull
    Anthony Hunter

*NOTE*: Successful elections are left open for a maximum of 60 days to
allow for processing of paperwork.  After that time the election will be
expired, regardless of its current status.  Should papework processing on
the part of the candidate take more time than allowed, a new election will
have to be held.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your project
lead, PMC member, or the EMO <emo@xxxxxxxxxxx>
