\section{Election Notice}%
The terms of the \TUG{} President and of eight members of the
\TUGweb{board.html}{Board of Directors} will be open as of the \TUG{}
\ElectionYear\ Annual Meeting, which is expected to be held in
July~\ElectionYear, San~Diego, California, USA.
\begingroup\small
The directors whose terms will
expire in \ElectionYear\ are:
Barbara Beeton,
Jon Breitenbucher,
Kaja Christian\-sen,
Susan DeMeritt,
Ross Moore,
Cheryl Ponchin,
Samuel Rhoads, and
Philip Taylor.
One additional director position is currently unoccupied.
Continuing directors, with terms ending in \NextElectionYear:
Steve Grathwohl,
Jim Hefferon,
Klaus H\"oppner,
Arthur Ogawa,
Steve Peter,
and David Walden.
\par\endgroup
The election to choose the new President and Board members will be
held in the spring of \ElectionYear.
Nominations for these openings are now invited.
The \TUGweb{bylaws/}{\TUG{} Bylaws}
provide that ``Any member may be nominated for election to
the office of \TUG{} President/to the Board by submitting a nomination
petition in accordance with the
\TUGweb{elecproc.html}{\TUG{} Election Procedures}.
Election \dots\ shall be by written mail ballot of the entire membership,
carried out in accordance with those same Procedures.''
The term of President is two years, of Director four years.
The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to one
of the open offices by submission of a petition, signed by two other
members in good standing, to the
\TUGweb{contact.html}{\TUG{} office}.
A nomination form follows this announcement; forms may also be obtained
from the \TUG{} office, and electronically via the \TUG{} web site at
\TUGweb{election/}{\texttt{http://tug.org/election}}.
Along with a nomination form, each candidate must supply a passport-size
photograph, a short biography, and a statement of intent to be included
with the ballot; the biography and statement of intent together may not
exceed 400 words. Also, a candidate's membership dues for
\ElectionYear\ are expected to be paid by the nomination deadline.
The deadline for receipt at the
\TUG{} office of nomination forms and ballot information is
\textbf{1~February~\ElectionYear}.
If there are more candidates than open positions, ballots will be mailed
to all members within 30 days after the close of nominations. Marked
ballots must be postmarked no more than six (6) weeks following the
mailing; the exact dates will be noted on the ballots.
Ballots will be counted by a disinterested party not part of the \TUG{}
organization. The results of the election should be available early in
June, and will be announced in \TUGweb{TUGboat/}{\textsl{TUGboat\/}} as
well as through various \TeX-related electronic lists.
It is the intent of \TUG{} that all wishing to participate in \TUG{}
elections do so. If you experience difficulty in submitting your
nomination, do not receive your ballot in a timely way, or experience
other problems, please contact the \TUG{} office or the Elections
Committee at \TUGmail{election}{\texttt{election@tug.org}}.
