Summary: Drones and Model Aircraft Stack Exchange will begin the nomination stage for a special election on May 18 to bring in your three inaugural pro-tem moderators.
For full details of the process, see the announcement on Meta Stack Exchange. The timeline:
Starting on May 18, users can nominate themselves. Users can also ask questions on meta for potential moderators to answer. (Use the discussion and election tags.)
On May 25, if there are four or more candidates, we'll run an election. If not, I'll simply appoint the candidates. (There's a small chance we'll need to remove a nomination, but I doubt that will come up.)
If there is an election, I'll announce the results on meta on June 2.
If you have any questions about the process, please stick them in an answer here.
