Committee members will be responsible for reviewing and approving all Associate Member (AM) applications, and vetting and selecting candidates responding to the Governing Board Call for nominations. The new election process encourages all AMs to nominate candidates (including self-nominations) for any of the available positions, as long as both the AM and the candidate are active and in good standing with the IGS. All Associate Members of the IGS (i.e., those colleagues receiving this email and listed on the Associate Membership List ) are eligible to nominate during the period of *15 July -15 August, 2019*. We are currently seeking nominations for the following positions (Descriptions are provided in the Attachment): *?* *Analysis Center Representative (AC Representative)* *? Network Representative* *?

The election process will be electronic and take place from 05 November to 08 December, 2019, closing at 12:00 pm PST. *Please make sure the IGS Central Bureau is aware of updates to your email address and/or affiliation.* The candidate receiving the most votes for each position will be elected to serve a 4-year term starting January 1, 2020. Please note that the *RINEX/RTCM WG Chair *position is part of this call for nominations process in order to solicit interest for this role.
