Subject: [yess] Executive Team nomination period now open
To: <yess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Dear YESSers,
we are writing you today to kick off the nomination process for the new
Executive Team.
The *new Executive Team* *can have a minimum of two and up to five members*.
A brief overview of YESS and the tasks of Executive Team members are
described in an online document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2_Ds_I_YaJ_Iy_0Yxo7mPz0cn7zOEUgqgLmWnb8Nkk/edit?usp=sharing>.
Executive Team members are *elected for one year*. The new Executive Team
will also benefit from a comprehensive Handbook prepared by the current
Executive Team, to help them through their work.
You can *nominate yourself *as candidate for the Executive Team. We ask
candidates to write a short statement of their motivation for the task
together with their vision for the development of YESS and send it via the
mailing list to the whole YESS network.
The nomination process is* open until 31 October *2019. If there are more
than five nominations, we will organize an online election.
During the nomination period we will also organize an *online YESS General
Assembly on the week 14-18 October*. The exact date and time, as well as
details on how to participate, together with an Agenda, will be sent soon.
All YESS members are encouraged to participate. In this General Assembly,
the current Executive Team will report on the activities during the past
year. It is also an opportunity for members to ask questions and to express
their interest and reasons for nominating themselves for a new Executive
Team.
Best wishes from the Executive Team
André Mascarenhas
