Since we have not yet enough nominations and it was the same situation at last election 2 years ago, I started to think about what can be changed in our approach.One thing that comes to my mind is what if the nomination were public ?Right now it is private and only visible to the DMB team. It is only public once the condorcet vote officially start.Would it helps having more folks nominating themselves (ripple effect) if they see someone they know give it a try ?
IMHO yes, more like "oh he's in there I might be able to do that as well I guess", but still I think it would help.
Would it make the nomination less intimidating for some individuals ?
Yes to that.
Furthermore I expect it would eliminate some cases were people skip the mail thinking "there will be enough anyway".
P.S. Just an opinion and entirely up to you, the alternating meeting time is hard to plan for everyone.
If there would be a way to get rid of that it might help as well. I do realize why it is the way it is (give applicants
from anywhere a better chance to attend), but I'm just saying this detail might make your search for members harder.

We don't yet have enough nominations to fill the seats that are up for
election. In recent years the DMB has routinely been short-staffed,
blocking us from being able to appoint more Ubuntu developers.
If you are a core dev or MOTU, please consider spending one hour every
other Monday to help others join us by nominating yourself for a seat on
the DMB[1].
Thanks,
Robie
