Urgent Call for Nominations for Open Grid Forum Area Directors

The Open Grid Forum (OGF) Nominations Committee (NOMCOM) is  
soliciting nominations for open positions as Open Grid Forum Area  
Directors. These positions need to be filled immediately to ensure  
the continued smooth running of the OGF Standards function.

The open positions arise from resignations and from the transition  
from the GGF and EGA to the merged OGF where previous Area Directors  
have moved to other leadership positions.
All members of the OGF are eligible to stand for these positions and  
are encouraged to do so.

You can submit your candidate nominations to nomcom at ogf.org or to any  
of the NOMCOM members listed below. Self-nominations are accepted.

Due to the requirement to fill these positions urgently the deadline  
for nominations for these positions is midnight Sunday, September  
10th, 2006 UTC.

Positions:

There are positions open in the following areas:

•	Area Director Data (up to 2)
•	Area Director Management (up to 1)
•	Area Director Security (up to 2)

Area Directors are responsible for management and development of a  
specific topic or area in OGF, but some flexibility is also desirable  
as Area Directors may be asked to deal with important issues from  
other areas.

You can get further information about the positions, the requirements  
for the positions and the selection process by sending an email to  
nomcom at ogf.org with your questions. Further information is also  
available at http://www.ggf.org/nomcom.

Notes:

The OGF membership programme is described at http://www.ogf.org/ 
merger_docs/MembershipIndividual.pdf.

This is an interim call for positions that require immediate filling.  
The full NOMCOM process will start at GGF18, with the aim of having  
new Vice Presidents, Area Directors and at large board members in  
place by Spring 2007.

Terms begin as soon as possible and last until Spring 2007. These  
terms may be extended to full-length 3-year terms through the normal  
NOMCOM process.

To make a nomination send an email to nomcom at ogf.org or contact  
anyone of the members of the nominating committee below.

ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED TO NOMCOM WILL BE KEPT IN CONFIDENCE AND  
WILL BE USED ONLY DURING DELIBERATIONS OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE.
