Dear all,
On the direction of UASG leadership team, we are inviting self-nominations along with a brief Statement of Interest (SOI) for the positions of chair or vice chair of the UASG Working Group (WG). The self-nomination (indicating the chair or vice chair position) + SOI should be emailed to the WG’s email list by 30 Nov. 2020 (UTC 1200). Existing chair and vice-chair are eligible as well.
WG members may provide additional input or support for the candidates who self-nominate, and possibly develop a rough consensus for consideration by the UASG leadership team by 9 Dec. 2020 (UTC 1200).
Based on the feedback received from the WG by 9 Dec. 2020 (UTC 1200), the UASG leadership team will nominate the WG chair and vice-chair for the term from 1 Jan. till 31 Dec. 2021.
Background:
You may already know that the chairs and vice chairs of UASG WGs are appointed for one calendar year by the UASG leadership team, as per the WG charters [uasg.tech]. The UASG leadership team has suggested that for practically managing these (re-)appointments, these appointments be aligned with the calendar years, from 1 Jan. to 31 Dec. each year.
Regards,
Sarmad
