[IGSMAIL-7793] IMPORTANT: IGS 2019 Call for Nominations

[Mayra Oyola]

 Dear IGS Associate Members,

As of May 17, 2019, the IGS has implemented a new elections method, which
is overseen and enforced by the newly established Standing Elections
Committee (SEC), this year made up of Governing Board member David Stowers,
Central Bureau representative Mayra Oyola, and Governing Board Vice Chair,
Felix Perosanz. Committee members will be responsible for reviewing and
approving all Associate Member (AM) applications, and vetting and selecting
candidates responding to the Governing Board Call for nominations.

The new election process encourages all AMs to nominate candidates
(including self-nominations) for any of the available positions, as long as
both the AM and the candidate are active and in good standing with the IGS.
All Associate Members of the IGS (i.e., those colleagues receiving this
email and listed on the Associate Membership List
<http://www.igs.org/about/am>) are eligible to nominate during the period
of *08 July -07 August, 2019*.

We are currently seeking nominations for the following positions
(Descriptions are provided in the Attachment):

*·*                *Analysis Center Representative (AC Representative)*

*·                Network Representative*

*·                RINEX/RTCM Working Group (WG) Chair (vacant as of May
2019)*



Once the call for nomination ends, the SEC will organize and verify
nominations. Candidates will be contacted by mid-August to confirm their
interest and request *curriculum vitae*, statement of intent, and letter of
support from their organization. The election process will be electronic
and take place from 05 November to 08 December, 2019, closing at 12:00 pm
PST. *Please make sure the IGS Central Bureau is aware of updates to your
email address and/or affiliation.* The candidate receiving the most votes
for each position will be elected to serve a 4-year term starting January
1, 2020.

Please note that the *RINEX/RTCM WG Chair *position is part of this call
for nominations process in order to solicit interest for this role. This is
a non-voting position, and will not be part of the voting process.

Very respectfully,



*Felix Perosanz*

*Vice-Chair, IGS Governing Board*

*Chair of the IGS Standing Elections Committee *



*David Stowers*

*Member of the IGS Governing Board*



*Mayra I. Oyola*

*Executive Secretary of the IGS Governing Board*

*Deputy Director of the IGS Central Bureau*
