Hi all,
As Erik-Jan presented at the recent GNA-G Community VCs, we’re calling for volunteers to join the Nomination Committee. The role of the NomCom is to represent the broader GNA-G community in selecting members of the Leadership Team (LT).
If you’d like to volunteer (or just ask questions), please just email the GNA-G Leadership Team: leadershipteam(a)lists.gna-g.net<mailto:leadershipteam@lists.gna-g.net> (Currently consisting of Erik-Jan Bos, Harvey Newman, Buseung Cho and myself.)
We can promise no fame or riches; only recognition by your peers and a warm inner glow from knowing that you’re helping the community :-)
Two fine upstanding members of the community have already put their hands up, but it would be great to have several more. I have attached Erik-Jan’s slide deck which describes the process. We don’t believe that being a member of the NomCom will be a particularly onerous or time-consuming task. Here are some of the key items from the slidepack:
* Volunteers from the Community form Nominating Committee
* No formal maximum, but for practical reasons: Max = 9.
* No more than one person from an organization or its subsidiaries
* Important considerations when nominating:
* Qualifications, e.g.., technical competence, organizational skills, relevant experience
* HOWEVER enthusiasm and willingness to participate are the main criteria – so if you’d like to join, just reach out to us and discuss
* We would particularly encourage diversity in the NomCom – see the GNA-G Diversity Statement
* The NomCom will be active in Q4 of every odd calendar year, so October 2021 for the first time:
* From now until 31 October: Nominations from the Community welcomed
* On 15 November, proposed NomCom members will be announced
* Through to 30 November, solicit comments on proposed NomCom members, then accepted members announced
* In December, NomCom will run the process to select and announce new LT candidates
Looking forward to hearing from you,
David
