project, makes sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-
team efforts. 

The following new community team Reps are nominated for 2024.

 * [Francesco Di Candia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francescodicandia/) [@francescodicandia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francescodicandia/)
 * [Stefano Cassone](https://profiles.wordpress.org/deadpool76/) [@deadpool76](https://profiles.wordpress.org/deadpool76/)

 * [Isotta Peira](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peiraisotta/) [@peiraisotta](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peiraisotta/)

## Voting

Community team members are requested to vote to select 2 new community team reps
by online poll using the following link: [https://forms.gle/h43XbR4JtqEuHfbb6](https://forms.gle/h43XbR4JtqEuHfbb6)

The voting is open until **15th December 2023**.

## Results

Once voting is concluded, we will announce the results before the end of 2023.

## How Team Reps will be Structured in 2024

To recap: in[ the post receiving this candidate](https://make.wordpress.org/community/2023/10/13/2024-community-team-reps-nominations-and-proposal-for-reps-structure/),
we had made a suggestion as to the duration and number of community Reps. Based 
on the input there, we are planning to operate with 4 people next year with 2 remaining
from the 2023 Reps and 2 new Reps.

This is with the understanding that it will be okay if someone gets stuck for a 
period of time.

And the two new reps in 2024 will overlap into 2025 if possible. 

This can be reconsidered after a year of activity.

The two Team Reps who will remain from 2023 and be active in 2024 will be decided
by discussion among the current three Reps ( [@mysweetcate](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mysweetcate/),
[@nukaga](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nukaga/) , [@leogopal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogopal/)).
The reason it is not a vote is that who remains will be determined based on an internal
discussion of activity, history, and personal circumstances.

## Request to Candidates

If you are a new Team Reps nominee, please share some information about yourself
including why you would like to represent the Community Team in the comments. It
will be helpful for the 2024 community team members to make their selection!

 3.  Hello! Thank you so much for the nomination, I feel honored. I joined the community
     team in 2022 and after almost 2 years, I feel I have gained enough confidence 
     and knowledge to be able to support the team. I love how in 2023 the current reps
     have guided us, and I’d be happy to continue with the process they have started.
     All the other fellow candidates are spectacular community team members, so no 
     matter how the vote ends, next year is going to be another great year for the 
     community team! Good luck everyone!

 6.  Hello and thank you! Such a great honor and very excited about this!
 7.  Although I had been in the community for a long time, I’ve been contributing/being
     part of the community team since around 2021 or 2022. We all faced difficulties
     during the pandemic and 2023 was the year that community united in-person once
     again. Would love to see the engagement more and more, and love to help out in
     a way I can contribute.
 8.  With the introduction of Next Gen Events, we see a lot of opportunities open up.
     And would love to help those “dreams” within the community come true. And more
     importantly, keep the welcoming, heartwarming atmosphere that past reps have created
     and keep it going.
 9.  All the other candidates are amazing!
      No matter the outcome is, I see bright 
     future coming ahead for the team. Thank you all, not just the candidates, but 
     everyone who contributes in the community team.

      * Hello everyone, it is indeed a great honor to have my name next to three people
        who are so special and important to the WordPress community. I have been active
        in the community for a while now, with various roles as an organizer of MeetupsMeetup
        Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face
        events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups
        in our [Meetup Organizer Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/).
        and WordCamps both locally, in Italy, and across Europe. Currently, I am involved
        in organizing, reviewing and mentoring some of the NextGen Events that are 
        and will be the real bet for the next few years for WordPress and its community.
        I hope that my help and work can be useful in making the NextGen Events, and
        in general all events organized by the community, succeed in the best possible
        way. Thank you all for this very valuable opportunity.
