The RC11 Executive Management Group (EMG) met at the IAGG Congress in Paris on 8th July, and agreed the following procedure for the next RC11 elections:
1. In February 2010, a request will be sent by email to the whole RC11 membership for nominations for EMG positions and for the 12 ‘Officers-at-Large’ by 10th May. This request for nominations will also be circulated in the Winter RC11 Newsletter and by reminder email in mid-April, request-ing nominations by 10th May 2010.
2. Each nomination should include a short paragraph about the candidate for nomination. Candidates for nomination must be paid up members of RC11 and the ISA, and the person nominating should also be a paid up member of RC11 and the ISA.
3. A list of the nominees for EMG Officer positions and for RC11 Officers-at-Large will be circulated to the RC11 membership by early June 2010.
4. Any RC11 member who is not planning to attend the 2010 World Con-gress will be invited to send in their votes for EMG Officers and RC11 Offi-cers-at-Large by 1st July to the Secretary (Susan Feldman).
5. The election of EMG Officers and RC11 Officers-at-Large will take place at the RC11 Business Meeting in Gothenburg by a vote of RC11 members present at the meeting. In addition, any votes cast in advance by RC11 members not attending the World Congress will be counted together with the votes cast at the RC11 Business Meeting.
