Dear Members, As you aware, every even numbered year we have election for Chair and Vice Chair of 802.21. The procedure we will follow is: Candidates shall announce their intention to run for Chair or Vice Chair by noon, local time of the session on Monday, 17 March, 2014. The election of officers will be held 17 March, 2014 at PM2 session (16:00 local time). If there is more than one candidate for an office, each candidate will have 5 minutes to speak in favor of their candidacy. 802.21 voting members will have a chance to ask the candidates questions. After the speeches, if any, an election will be held by secret ballot. - In order to be elected, any candidate shall receive a simple majority (over 50%) of the votes cast in the election for the respective position. - Should no candidate receive a majority in the election, a runoff election shall be held during the meeting. The process shall be similar to the initial election, except that: o New nominations shall not be permitted. o In the runoff election, the nominated candidate having received the fewest votes in the previous election round shall not be an eligible candidate (in case a tie prevents this possibility, all the nominated candidates shall remain eligible). - If the process is inconclusive, another runoff election shall be held, as described above. Regards, -Subir Das 802.21 WG Chair |
