The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI-C) invites nominations for election to the TEI-C Board and Council. Nominations should be sent to Daniel O'Donnell at daniel.odonnell@uleth.ca by September 4, 2006. Elections will take place at the annual Members' Meeting in October, 2005.
Self-nominations are welcome and common. They should include a brief statement of interest and biographical paragraph. All nominations should include an email address for the nominee and should indicate whether the nomination is for Board or Council.
The TEI-C Board is the governing body for the TEI Consortium, and is responsible for its strategic and financial oversight. The TEI-C Council oversees the technical development of the TEI Guidelines. Service in either group is an opportunity to help the TEI grow and serve its members better.

TEI-C membership is NOT a requirement to serve on the Board or Council.
Candidates should be familiar with the TEI and should be willing to commit time to discussion, decision-making, and TEI activities. If you have ideas about how to make the TEI stronger or can help it do a better job, nominate yourself! Or, if you know someone who you think could contribute to TEI, nominate him or her!
