Hi @contextant ,
Welcome to the Forum and our community!
It is good to know that you participated in the recent community program, the Odyssey Trials - I liked the roadmap infographics you created 
While anyone is welcome to join our Forum and contribute to the development of our ecosystem to their best knowledge and skills, running for the Treasury Council requires some track record within the ecosystem. And I think you will have a chance to build that now with the Odyssey Program and its further development. However, at this point there is an item in the eligibility criteria that, unfortunately, prevents you from participating in this round of elections - your Forum Trust Level which is supposed to be at 1. You can find the full list of eligibility criteria here.
I would like to thank you for your candidacy post and encourage you to get to know our ecosystem better and try in the next round!
