I am pleased to advise BC members that Stephane Van Gelder, who is standing for Council Chair re-election for a one year term, has accepted an invitation to meet with the full CSG membership on Tuesday, 4 p.m., in the CSG meeting room. His Candidate Statement is attached for your convenience. While Stephane is standing unopposed, he must still gain 60% of the votes of both houses to be elected. Vice Chairs are chosen separately, and differently. Each House determines their procedure, and provides one vice chair. The procedure in the Non Contracted Party House is discussed separatly. However, I would like to advise Members that Wolf Ulrich Knoben, ISPCP Councilor, has been nominated by the CSG as a Vice Chair Candidate. I will forward his candidate statement in due course.
