+Dear TC colleagues,
+
+I would like to nominate myself to serve as the
+OpenStack Technical Committee Chair through the 2026.1 cycle.
+
+Over my tenure as chair, I've brought my distinctive
+flair to this role while honoring the storied tradition
+of building consensus respectfully and engaging with all
+issues, whether they be significant architectural decisions
+or smaller day-to-day concerns that matter deeply to our
+community members. This balanced approach has allowed me to
+maintain the collaborative spirit that defines OpenStack
+governance while introducing fresh perspectives on how we
+can work together more effectively.
+
+My focus has been on streamlining our operations without
+losing the thoughtful deliberation that makes our decisions
+robust. I've worked to reduce bureaucratic friction while
+preserving the essential elements that ensure all voices
+are heard and considered. I believe that this approach to
+process improvement helps create a governance structure that
+is both efficient and inclusive.
+
+Thank you for your consideration and for the privilege of
+serving this community.
+
+Best regards,
+Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
