Dear Members,

Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) is holding its fifth Executive Committee elections. 

According to the approved bylaws, establishing procedures by which GO::DH is governed, four out of eight of the seats on the Executive Committee are up for election this year. Each elected committee member serves a two-year term. All outgoing members are eligible to stand for re-election, and we warmly welcome new candidates who have not served on the Executive Committee before.  There are no restrictions on participation other than a willingness to further the aims of the organisation.

The nomination period opened on February 26 for a period of two weeks. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to send reminders as we initially planned. For this reason, we would like to extend the nomination period for another 10 days (through the end of Business on March 25th, anywhere in the world).  

To nominate yourself or someone else as a candidate, please email the returning officers, Gurpreet Singh and Daniel O'Donnell at nominations@globaloutlookdh.org. 

Self-nominations are welcome and very common.

In your email, please include:

1) The nominee’s name (your own if a self-nomination)

2) Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating someone else, please cc them on the email)

3) An optional candidate statement (~250 words), which will be published on the GO::DH website

4) A brief bio for the candidate

Elections will start on Friday, March 16, 2018 and will stay open till Sunday April 1, 2018. Elections will be held by electronic ballot. If for some reason you cannot access or use an electronic ballot, please contact the returning officers to make alternate arrangements.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or concerns. 

Sincerely,

Daniel O' Donnell

Gurpreet Singh
