Dear Community Members,

As a reminder, on 17 September 2021, the IGS opened its 2021 “Call for Nominations” for the following IGS Governing Board positions:

  *   (1) Analysis Center Representative
  *   (1) Network Representative

Additionally, we have recently identified an opening for:

  *   (1) Data Center Representative

As a reminder, the election process approved on 17 May 2021 encourages all Associate Members (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 IGS AMs (i.e., those colleagues receiving this email and listed on the Associate Membership List<https://igs.org/governance-management/#associate-members>) are eligible to nominate during the period of 17 September -17 October , 2021.  The election process will be overseen and enforced by the Standing Elections Committee (SEC), this year made up of by Analysis Center Representative, Benjamin Mannel, Network Representative, Ryan Ruddick and, Central Bureau Deputy Director, Mayra Oyola-Merced. 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.

Once the call for nomination ends, the SEC will organize and verify nominations. Candidates will be contacted by end of October 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 15 November to 01 December, 2021, 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 01 January 2022.

While you must be an Associate Member to nominate and vote, we encourage interested community members to reach out to one of our Associate Members if they have recommendations for strong candidates for any of these positions.

On behalf of the Standing Election Committee and Governing Board,

Mayra Oyola

Mayra I. Oyola

Executive Secretary of the IGS Governing Board

Deputy Director of the IGS Central Bureau

Representative to the IGS Standing Election Committee
