Dear TC6 Member,
In Budapest, it was decided to start the procedure for the election of a new TC6 chairperson. We will follow the procedure initiated in White Plains for the 1997 election and improved for the 2000 election. The starting point of the procedure is to establish the list of eligible people taking into account the first three conditions: - national representative (Bylaws Condition) - attendance to at least one TC6 meeting among Saariselka, Lisboa and Hungary - conference organiser.
Here is this list by alphabetical order of the country represented
Danthine Andre Sousa Jose Neuman de Boyanov Kiril Mason Lorne Slavik Jan Iversen Villy Hara Veikko Tohme Samir Spaniol Otto Dibuz Sarolta Prati Giancarlo Saito Tadao Niemegeers I. Aagesen Fin Grzech Adam Puigjaner Ramon Khakhar Dipak Rudin Harry Radford Peter Chapin Lyman Iyengar Arun.
Following the procedure, I ask all the people of this list to confirm their willingness to stay on the ballot. Staying on the ballot means, of course, a commitment - to attend all the meetings of TC6 and - to participate regularly in the Council and General Assembly meetings.
In order to avoid any problem, I invite also all the people on this list who are not willing to stay on the ballot to clearly indicate their position.
When the list of willing eligible people will be ready, we will start the last step before the vote: each candidate will have to prepare - a short CV with an emphasis to the TC6 related activities - a statement of interest for the TC6 Chairmanship postion. Why do they want to be chairman, what activities they intend to continue, to discontinue, to create, what will change in TC6 under their leadership. - a statement about the way they see the relationship between them (as TC6 chairman) and the Council and the General Assembly.
These information will have to be sent directly to me. I will sort all these informations and prepare the final document which will allow each TC6 member to cast his vote for one of the candidate. If none of them get more than 50% of the votes, a second vote will take place with only the two candidates who received the greatest support on the first vote.
The people eligible to vote are the national representatives and the WG Chairmen (one vote by WG).
The vote will be carried by email with the help of the IFIP secretariat for counting the vote.
Best regards
Andre
