Dear IGS Community,


The IGS Standing Elections Committee (SEC) and Governing Board (GB) are 
pleased to announce the 2026 Call for Nominations for the position of 
*Network Representative*. Please refer to the IGS Terms of Reference 
<https://files.igs.org/pub/resource/governance/IGS-Terms-of-Reference.pdf> 
for further details on this position.

The election process will follow the procedure approved in September 
2024 
<https://files.igs.org/pub/resource/governance/GB_Elections_Process.pdf>, 
and the IGS SEC encourages *GNSS Networks* and *IGS Associate Members* 
to nominate candidates for any of the available positions, including 
self-nominations, as long as both the nominator and nominee are active 
in at least one IGS Component and in good standing with the IGS. All IGS 
Associate Members listed on the Associate Membership List 
<https://igs.org/am/list/> are eligible to nominate.

*Nominations should be sent before the 30th of August 2026 to

Candidates must provide (1) a /curriculum vitae/, (2) a statement of 
intent, and (3) a letter of support from their organisation. Nominated 
candidates will be contacted to confirm their interest and asked to 
provide those documents.

The election process will be overseen and enforced by the IGS Standing 
Election Committee, which as of today consisted of Rui Fernandes, 
Wolfgang Söhne, Benjamin Männel, and Ryan Keenan. SEC members will be 
responsible for reviewing and approving all Associate Member 
applications, and vetting and selecting candidates.

Once the call for nomination ends, the SEC will organize and verify 
nominations.

The election process will be electronic and take place *from the 15th of 
November 2026 to the 1st of December 2026*. The elected candidate will
