Nomination correction and update:

Previous emails incorrectly reported five seats available for nomination  On 2/26/2013 The Steering Committee voted to reduce the size of the Steering Committee to eight seats, making four seats available for this nomination period.

Nominations closed yesterday with all four expiring SC members seeking reelection.  The Member Section Policy requires extending nominations one time when nominations do not create a contested ballot.  Therefore nomination will be extended until 28 January to accommodate any other members who wish to join the process.

the nomination process is described below.

The Steering committee ballot will open on 29 January without further delay.

Any WS-I MS participant may make nominations to the Steering

Committee. However, only Member Section Members may be a candidate and

nominees employed by organizations already represented on the WS-I

Steering Committee are not eligible.

If you aren't currently active in the WS-I Member Section [2], now is

a great time to join. The

process to join is simple but it must be completed during the

nomination period. Send an email to 

stating your intent to join the WS-I MS.
