Hello,<div><br></div><div>Yes, as per the election rules election is required only if the number of vacant seats increases upto 3 or more.[1]</div><div>An election is not required at this moment. </div><div><br></div><div>
But I believe giving the opportunity to another Ambassador is good rather than keeping it as vacant.</div><div>Ultimately it will simplify others work as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore we can select the next one on the row for the vacant seats.</div>

</div>FAmSCo has rules governing what happens when there are open seats as<br>
explained here<br>
<br>
<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_election_rules" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_election_rules</a><br>
<br>
If the number of filled seats drops below 5 then an election is called<br>
to fill open seats.<br>
