The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI-C) invites nominations for
election to the TEI-C Board and Council.  Nominations should be sent to Ray
Siemens at [siemens at uvic.ca] by 1 June 2007.  Elections will take place
at the annual Members' Meeting, 1-3 November, 2007, at U Maryland.
   
Self-nominations are welcome and common. They should include a brief
statement of interest and biographical paragraph. Example candidates'
biographies from last year's election can be found at 
http://www.tei-c.org/Members/2006-Victoria/mm35.xml?style=printable.  All
nominations should include an email address for the nominee and should
indicate whether the nomination is for the Board or Council.
   
The TEI-C Board is the governing body for the TEI Consortium, and is
responsible for its strategic and financial oversight. The TEI-C Council
oversees the technical development of the TEI Guidelines. Service in either
group is an opportunity to help the TEI grow and serve its members better.
   
For more information on the Board please see:

TEI-C membership is NOT a requirement to serve on the Board or Council.
   
Candidates should be familiar with the TEI and should be willing to commit
time to discussion, decision-making, and TEI activities. If you have ideas
about how to make the TEI stronger or can help it do a better job, nominate
yourself! Or, if you know someone who you think could contribute to TEI,
nominate him or her!
