Suspense Date: Nominations must be received by 25 November 2005. Action: Submit nominations to stephen_bailey@mentor.com Since I am not running for any working group officer position, I am appointing myself to be the returning officer. This is a call to open nominations for the election of the following 1076 working group officers: Chair Vice Chair Secretary As the working group does not collect nor disburse funds, there is no need for a Treasurer at this time and the chair has also functioned as the Standards Staff Liaison. Any member of the working group (including observer and email subscriber members) may submit a nomination (and a person can nominate themself). However, only voting members will be able to participate in the election for WG officers. Although a nominee's permission is not required for a nomination, it is recommended that nominators check with a nominee prior to submitting a nomination to ensure the willingness of the nominee. Nominees must be eligible to hold the office for which they are nominated (IEEE DASC and WG voting members -- please see http://www.dasc.org/DASC-roster.html for DASC members). Relevant section of WG P&Ps: 3.1 Election of Officers The Chair shall appoint a Returning Officer for the conduct of an election of officers. The Returning Officer shall not be a nominee in the election and shall not vote in the election. The Members shall nominate to the Returning Officer one or more Members for each office to be filled at the election. Nominees shall be eligible at the time of nomination to hold the office for which they are elected. A Member shall accept nomination for no more than one office. The response period for nominations shall be at least 14 days. If no nomination is received for an office, a temporary appointment shall be made in accordance with 3.2. The Returning Officer shall conduct the election by letter or electronic ballot. Voting shall be by "approval", whereby each balloter may cast an approval vote for each of any number of nominees for an office. The nominee with the greatest number of approval votes shall win the election. Write-in candidates are permitted as specified in the IEEE Bylaws. In the event of a tie, the Returning Officer shall decide between the tied candidates by picking a candidate's name from a hat. Election of the Chair and Vice-Chair shall be confirmed by the DASC-SC. If the DASC-SC rejects election of the Chair or Vice-Chair, the Returning Officer shall conduct a fresh election for the office not so confirmed. -------------------- Stephen Bailey Product Marketing Manager, Simulation Mentor Graphics stephen_bailey@mentor.com 303-775-1655 (Mobile, preferred) 720-494-1202 (work) www.mentor.com <http://www.mentor.com/> www.model.com <http://www.model.com/>Received on Tue Nov 8 07:37:22 2005
