Dear Members of ISSN,

This October the Society will elect two new Executive Board members, to serve for three years, as well as its next Second Vice-President, who serves for four years (proceeding to First Vice-President, President, and Past President).

The nominations for these positions are drawn up by the nominating committee, which comprises the current VP and two or three other Society members. This year, that is Irene Kacandes, Jonathan Culler, Henrik Skov Nielsen and Sylvia Patron.

All ISSN members are invited to propose names for the nominating committee to consider. Self-nominations are entirely in order!

Note that eligible candidates will have attended recent ISSN conferences, and will usually commit to attending two meetings of the ISSN Executive Board in each year of their term – one at the ISSN Conference and one video meeting in December. Candidates for Second VP should have attended 3 out of the last 5 annual conferences.

Please send your suggestions to Irene Kacandes, Jonathan Culler, Henrik Skov Nielsen and Sylvia Patron (along with a brief indication of the reason for your recommendation) no later than August 15, 2019.
