Dear Locators,

As announced at the EWGLA session of the latest ISOLDE conference, the time has come to elect a new EWGLA Board. It will be a new one since the current board is not available for re-election.

The details of the election process can be found on the EWGLA website (http://www.euro-online.org/ewgla/) and at the end of this email.

Members are invited to submit proposals for new board candidates until 30^th of September 2014.

The voting itself will take place from 1^st of November until 30^th of November 2014. Details on that will be given after the submission deadline.

The EWGLA board

Ioannis Giannikos

Guidelines for the election of a new EWGLA Coordination Board:

- A EWGLA Board consists of three people from different countries;

- Every second EWGLA meeting (which corresponds roughly to 3 years), a new EWGLA Board is elected which should correspond to a total renovation of the previous Board;

- Only EWGLA members can be part of a EWGLA Board;

- A proposal can be made by every EWGLA member and should reflect the will of three people to work together on the coordination of EWGLA;

- A EWGLA member can be part of at most one proposal;

- The proposals should be sent by e-mail to the current EWGLA Board (ewgla-board@euro-online.org);

- After receiving all the proposals, the current EWGLA Board will inform all EWGLA members about the existing proposals and will conduct a voting process;

- The deadline for the submission of proposals is determined by the current EWGLA Board but will be no less than 30 days before the voting. All the process should be completed and the corresponding results announced before the EWGLA meeting in which the new board takes office;

- The elected board takes office in the EWGLA session of the EWGLA meeting.
