J. Scott, I think there was agreement that a sitting Chair may opt for a second term if willing to serve (no election). Anne [cid:433184722@23012013-27CE]Anne E.

I thought the idea is that the Chair and Vice Chair are elected annually but can only serve for 2 consecutive years any the same position. I did not think that the Chair and Vice Chair could opt for a second term and thereby eliminate the need for an election. If my understanding is incorrect, I am happy to revise. Do other people have a point of view on this issue? J. Scott j. scott evans - head of global brand, domains & copyright - Yahoo!

This needs some wordsmithing... In December of each year, the SCI should ask for volunteers from its primary members to serve as Chair. The Chair and Vice Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue for a second 1-year term. Thanks for taking this on. Kind regards, RA Ronald N.
