A quick reminder: as a new ADHO SIG, GO::DH has some administrative
requirements, including the formation of an executive and election of a
chair. We are currently have a call out for volunteers and nominations
for each.
There is no set limit at this moment on the number of positions on the
executive: part of the task of this year's executive will be to draft
formal by-laws to set numbers, term lengths, and perhaps constituency
requirements.
We'd originally indicated that we were hoping for an executive of 6-10
members; we are already past that, but, as always, would rather engage
than turn away enthusiastic members or risk reducing diversity of
opinion or experience. Given the numbers of volunteers, once the
membership of executive is established, one of its first tasks will be
to decide the most efficient way of working this coming year.
If you would like to nominate somebody for the executive or chair, or
nominate yourself (self-nominations are welcome), please contact Alex
Gil (colibri.alex(a)gmail.com), who is acting as a returning officer. The
deadline for nominations/volunteering is Thursday January 17.
