Dear Members The nomination period for the BC Executive Committee elections closed at midnight yesterday. I have received two nominations for the position of Chair and one nomination each for the positions of Vice Chair Policy, Vice Chair Finance and a Representative to the Commercial Stakeholders Group. Every nominee is from the North America region so I must respond to this according to the BC Charter 5.1: "If at the close of nominations, it would result in all Executive Committee except Council representatives, or all Council representatives, being from the same region, the nomination period may be extended to improve geographic diversity." It is important that the BC makes an effort to recognise and support geographic diversity and I am therefore extending the nomination period to midnight on Thursday 21 January in order to invite nominations from regions other than North America. For clarity, all positions remain open for nomination. I will contact members again on Friday once the extended nomination period has closed. Gary
