Announcement of Nominees: A

Ballot versus Automatic Confirmation: Per Section 6.4(2) of the IAGR Bylaws, if the number of nominees is
equal to or fewer than the number of available vacancies, the nominees
will be automatically confirmed as Board of Trustee members at the Johannesburg 2017 Annual General Meeting of the membership. |
| | Candidate Qualifications & Considerations
|
| | Please consider the following in making your nominations.
- First and foremost, only nominate individuals who have indicated a willingness to invest significant time and effort into being a Trustee. These are working positions of responsibility.
- Ideally, Trustees attend both an annual Board of Trustees meeting held
to coincide with the annual conference and two mid-year meetings (one in
London coinciding with ICE and one usually coinciding with either the GREF or
NAGRA conference) as well as participate in numerous
email exchanges and multiple conference calls. Those unable to attend
the meetings in person are expected to join by phone.
- Think about geographical and membership representation in making your
nominations. For example, does the individual you plan to nominate come
from an already substantially represented region?
- In order to make a nomination, both you and the individual you are nominating must be paid members of IAGR in good standing.
