Subject: [P1800] P1800 WG - Call for Nominations

Hi, All -

I have again 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, October 15th .

For your review, I have included pertinent excerpts from the P1800 P&Ps below
(and as an attachment). This document is from 2008, but I believe it is still
the current P&Ps document.

Dennis or Karen - could you have the current eligibility list sent out to this
group?

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.
