IFIP WG 8.2 Officers Election

Submitted by Kevin Crowston on Fri, 2015-11-06 20:26

The terms of officers for Working Group 8.2 will be ending in December and so it is time for an election.

There are three elected officers of the WG: Chair, Vice-chair, and Secretary. The tradition has been to move our chairs through the three offices. The vice-chair is assumed to be chair-elect and the secretary is assumed to be vice-chair-elect. A new secretary is elected to join the officers and to start this rotation.

Click on "Go to form" to see the ballot. You must be a member of IFIP WG 8.2 and logged in to the website to vote (see the instructions below).

This year's slate:

For chair:

  • Ulrike Schultze (currently Vice Chair)

For vice-chair

  • Eija Karsten (currently Secretary)

For secretary (click on the person's name to read their position statement):

(NB. Technically, IFIP Technical Committee 8 holds the power to appoint the officers of its Working Groups. However, TC 8 has traditionally allowed its working groups to initiate and advise the Committee on respective working group officers; and this advice has been treated as final by TC 8 chairpersons. New officers elected by WG 8.2 are brought to TC 8 meetings by the WG 8.2 chair, recorded and forwarded to IFIP without further action by TC 8.)
