[Compgeom-announce] election of CG Steering Committee -- Call for Nominations

["Berg, M.T. de" <m.t.d.berg@TUE.nl>]

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR CG STEERING COMMITTEE


Dear CG Community,

     You may recall that the current Computational Geometry Steering
Committee was elected in August 2003 for a term of three years. The
committee coordinates the annual ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry
(SoCG), e.g. by appointing its PC and Video chairs, it conducts the
business meeting at SoCG, it serves as liaisons to other organizations
and conferences such as FCRC, and so on.

     It is now time to elect a new committee. As the secretary of the
Steering Committee I write you to call for nominations. The election
will be conducted in roughly the same manner as before, according to the
following procedure: 

(1) Any member of the community may nominate any other member by sending
email directly to me by the deadline--see below. Nominations of past and
current committee members are allowed, with one exception: since I am
conducting the election, I cannot be nominated.   It is not necessary to
check with those whom you nominate; after nominations have been
received, I will contact those nominated and ask them if they are
willing to serve.
 
(2) I will then prepare the list of candidates whom the community can
vote for. This list will consist of the 15 most nominated persons; in
case of ties the number of candidates on the list may deviate slightly.
The list will be circulated via compgeom-announce, and the community
will be asked to vote for five candidates from the list. The five with
the most votes will then become the new Steering Committee. It will be
up to them to select a Chair and otherwise organize themselves.


The new Steering Committee will again serve for three years.

     To nominate someone, send email to

                mdberg@win.tue.nl

with Subject: "CG Nomination" before Thursday July 3, 2006. We look
forward to hearing from you!



Mark de Berg, on behalf of the current Steering Committee:


Pankaj Agarwal (chair)
Mark de Berg (secretary)
Ferran Hurtado
Joe Mitchell 
Jack Snoeyink
