Last minute edit: Because Mayoral elections is a multi-step process, here's the relevant section from the wiki to do with what's happening this meeting!
"Council will vote to endorse candidates to run for mayor from the list of interested parties. A candidate must receive two endorsements from council members to be allowed to stand in the public vote. If the candidate is on the council, they cannot endorse themselves. Council members are not required to endorse any interested party. If a candidate has received two endorsements from council members, they cannot be endorsed further. The meeting host must ask each council member in-turn to message them privately with their endorsement, council members are reminded they do not have to endorse anyone. This is to prevent spam voting and confusion over endorsements. If the meeting host is a potential candidate, another impartial party must instead collect the endorsement votes.
Once the candidates have been endorsed, the mayoral election will begin. A forum poll will be set up, unless only 1 candidate is in the running, in which there is no need. This allows forum users to vote for the mayor they want to elect. Any Zedling, Zesty or Zriend can vote. The candidate with the most votes will be officially appointed at the next council meeting."
TL;DR, this meeting, council members will privately endorse candidates out of those who registered interest in the forum thread. Endorsing a candidate is optional. Any candidate receiving two endorsements will proceed to the 'public' vote, to be posted in the forum after the meeting.
