+Hello,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of Manila PTL during
+the 2024.2 cycle.
+
+I have been serving as PTL to this amazing community for 4 cycles, and I would
+like to continue serving as PTL.
+
+With the brilliant work of the Zorillas, we managed to make great progress on
+several community wide efforts, and deliver good quality features and fixes
+that will for sure enhance the usability and stability of the features.
+
+For the next cycle, I would like to focus on:
+
+* Working with the contributors to harden the security of our code base by
+ ensuring we have proper testing on CI, and working on security related tech
+ debt such as the rootwrap migration to privsep.
+
+* Engaging contributors to assist in the completion of the integration of Manila
+ with OpenStack SDK and Barbican.
+
+* Working on the stability of our CI jobs and getting more test scenarios
+ implemented in all Manila repositories.
+
+* Continue increasing the number of active reviewers through mentoring and
+ creating more community engagement opportunities, such as: promoting
+ hackatons, bug squashes and collaborative review sessions.
+
+Thank you for your consideration!
+
