 I made a proposal during the meeting that the next steps should include the
 election of two working groups to take forward ideas for an implementation of
-LSP for Scala, and a second "protocols" group for defining other non-LSP
-protocols for Scala. These groups should have,
+LSP for Scala, and a second "Scala Tooling Protocols" group for defining other
+non-LSP protocols for Scala. These groups should have,
 
- - 6-8 members in each
+ - 6-9 members in each
  - some overlap in membership between the two groups
  - a mix of experts (more experience than free time) and enthusiasts (more free
    time than experience)
  - diverse representation of a variety of existing projects
- - at least one member from the Scala Center
+ - at least one member from the Scala Center, but not overrepresentation
 
 As an open-source project, the dynamics of a disparate collection of developers
 is often better suited to innovation than shipping working software by a
 deadline, and a large part of the challenge will be to keep everyone on track,
 despite the freedom that Open Source grants us. We hope that that leadership
 can come from the Scala Center.
 
+## Election Process
+
+We want to encourage an open process for discussion of tooling for Scala. We
+want to involve many diverse minds, and we want to be inclusive. In the past,
+it has often been most expedient to invite a selection of known experts to take
+part. This has largely led to technical success, but has made it harder for
+many newcomers to engage with the Scala decision-making process. So to try to
+improve upon this, and to give the working groups greater legitimacy, we will
+be holding elections to choose the members of the LSP and STP working groups.
+This will, in part, be an experiment, but we hope it signals greater openness
+in how decisions which affect the entire Scala community are made.
+
+If the Scala community had a list of its members, we could invite each member
+to vote on the makeup of the working groups, but of course, that's not how the
+community works. We also do not want to open an election up to anything that
+could be so trivially compromised as an online poll.
+
+We will therefore take an imperfect but pragmatic approach and open voting only
+to those members of the Scala community who are willing to devote a small
+amount of their time to participating in a series of live votes, conducted
+online, which will take place on Wednesday, 28 February starting at 6pm GMT.
+Full details of the rules governing this process are [described
+here](https://github.com/scalacenter/tooling-working-groups/blob/master/nominations/election.md).
+
+We will announce the composition of the working groups after the voting
+immediately after voting has finished.
