Subject: [Int-area] FW: Nomcom 2009-10: Important Reminder: Call for Nominations, Local Office hours, Nominee Questionnaires available

All,

Please take a moment to consider Mary's request below.

In particular, I would very much like to see people seriously consider 
signing up as a candidate for INT AD this year. (For the record I have 
not decided yet what I want to do next year or if I'll be one of the 
candidates. But in any case, its typically a good idea to get some new 
blood to the IESG after a person has been in the AD job for four years.)

Jari

> Hi all,
>
> This is a 2nd reminder of the Call for Nominations that is underway.  We
> *really* need more nominations in order to properly execute the task of
> selecting candidates for the open positions. At this time, the number of
> nominations for all the positions is about 1/2 of what is necessary for
> the Nomcom to do a conscientious job of evaluating the nominees and we
> are over 2/3 of the way through the nominations period. Nomcom cannot do
> their job without this important input from the community. 
>
> So, please consider making nominations for the open positions - it takes
> just a few minutes of your time - the details are below.  Right now, we
> just need the names/email addresses for the nominees - we'll be
> soliciting feedback later. Also, consider that over 1/2 the nominees are
> not able to accept the nominations for a variety of reasons - e.g., lack
> of funding, lack of sponsor support, etc. Thus, please consider
> nominating more than one individual for each of the positions.  
>
> As well as the reminder for the call for nominations, this email also
> serves as a reminder for:
> 2) Local Office Hours
> 3) Questionnaires available for nominees

> 1) Call for Nominations
> ------------------------
> The nomination period ends in less than 2 weeks on Sept. 18th, 2009. We

> Please consider that the sooner you make the nominations, the more time
> your nominee(s) will have to complete the necessary questionnaire (item
> 3
> below).  As well, please consider nominating more than one person for a
> particular position. You will have the opportunity to provide additional
> feedback later and it's important to consider that not all nominees will
> be able to accept the nomination.
