Frank Farance has submitted all the appropriate paperwork (thanks Frank!) but this is necessary for INCITS to accept it. Please find the call (below) for volunteers for the position of International Representative - INCITS/V1, Text Processing: Office and Publishing Systems Interface. Note that the call closes on 25 August 2007. Please respond with the appropriate documents directly to Jennifer Garner at: jgarner@itic.org. I hope everyone is looking forward to a great weekend! Patrick To: The Members of INCITS/V1 From: Jennifer T. Garner, for the INCITS Secretariat *Subject: THIRD CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - International Representative - INCITS/V1, Text Processing: Office and Publishing Systems Interface* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The office of INCITS/V1 International Representative is currently vacant. The first two calls for volunteers to serve as INCITS/V1 International Representative closed without response. At the April 2007 SDB meeting it was agreed that the V1 Chairman could temporarily fulfill the V1 IR responsibilities until a permanent candidate was identified. A candidate has since come forth. This third call for volunteers to serve as International Representative of INCITS/V1 is being issued to the members of V1 and will close on* August 25, 2007*. Any member of the INCITS Subgroup is welcome to volunteer to serve. Before one considers doing so, however, the commitment in time and responsibilities should be considered. Officers must actively support the administrative structure that ensures due process to all participants, assists in reaching consensus and protects the accreditation of the entire system. [There is no limit to the number of terms an individual may serve. There is a rule prohibiting one individual from being appointed to two or more offices of the same committee simultaneously.] The *INCITS/RD-2 *, /Organization and Procedures of INCITS/, generally describes officers' responsibilities, and a more detailed list of duties has been compiled in the *INCITS/RD-3 *, /Officers' Guide/. Those willing to make this commitment must submit three written statements in support of their candidacy: 1. A one-page statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the subgroup's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities (to be forwarded to the INCITS Subgroup for an advisory ballot if there is more than one candidate). 2. A statement of management support for a three-year term on company letterhead acknowledging the additional workload, financial resources and duties required of an officer over and above that of a technical participant. This statement must be signed by the candidate's management and submitted on their organization's letterhead. The statement of management support for the three-year term is a good faith commitment, not a legal binding commitment. If future circumstances require the applicant to resign from the office before the term has been fulfilled, this will be accepted without prejudice. 3. A statement as to whether or not the candidate is a representative of a U.S. domiciled organization. Any supplemental materials will be forwarded along with the advisory ballot to INCITS, which appoints all INCITS Subgroup officers. The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position on the INCITS Subgroup should be sent to the attention of Jennifer Garner (jgarner@itic.org) no later than *August 25, 2007*. -- Patrick Durusau patrick@durusau.net Chair, V1 - US TAG to JTC 1/SC 34 Acting Convener, JTC 1/SC 34/WG 3 (Topic Maps) Co-Editor, ISO/IEC 13250-1, 13250-5 (Topic Maps) Co-Editor, OpenDocument Format (OASIS, ISO/IEC 26300)
