Hi, All - I have been appointed to act as elections processor for election of the P1800 Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary. We are beginning the nomination and election process for P1800 officers. The first step is to make nominations for the offices of Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary. I will confirm with those nominated that they are willing to serve but you are invited to do the same before making nominations. This is the official call for nominations for those positions. Please forward nominations to me by return email by 5pm US-PDT - Friday, September 12th. For your review, I have included pertinent excerpts from the P1800 P&Ps below (and as an attachment). I have also included the eligibility list as submitted to me from Karen. As a last bit of information, confirmed nominees may submit a position statement, if they wish, to be included with the announcement of the nominees at the start of the election voting period. However, we do not require position statements for this election. Regards - Cliff Cummings - Sunburst Design, Inc.
