[cmath] Fwd: ICMI elections: TRIPLE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

[Peter Taylor]

Colleagues:
At the next ICME meeting in Seoul in 2012 elections for the new 
Executive Committee of ICMI will take place, and the call for 
nominations is found below.
There are in fact three nomination calls here.  The first is for the 
Nominating committee.  This is the committee that assembles the 
slates for President, Sec'y-General, Vice-Presidents (2 of these) and 
Members at large (5 of these).  The second two calls are for the pool 
of candidates the Nominating committee will work with to assemble the 
ballot for the various positions.  FYI the current executive 
committee can be found at:
<http://www.mathunion.org/icmi/about-icmi/executive-committee/>http://www.mathunion.org/icmi/about-icmi/executive-committee/

The make-up of the nominating committee is a bit complicated, but two 
of its members are chosen by random selection from the nomination 
received from 1) below.  If you want a more detailed description of 
the process it is found here:
<http://www.mathunion.org/Publications/CircularLetters/ICMINomCtteeModel_041029.pdf>http://www.mathunion.org/Publications/CircularLetters/ICMINomCtteeModel_041029.pdf

This is a fairly new process and is only the second time the ICMI 
General Assembly has elected its own Executive Committee (the first 
being the previous ICME in 2008).

It would certainly be good to put Canadian candidates into these 
positions.  Nominations must be accompanied by the candidates CV and 
willingness to serve, and a brief paragraph of justification or 
promotion would not go amiss.  Do let me know of your ideas.

Dear ICMI Representatives, Chairs of ICMI Affiliate Organizations

For the second time in its history the election of the Executive 
Committee of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction 
(ICMI) will take place during the General Assembly of ICMI. The 
purpose of this message is to launch a TRIPLE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS 
resulting from the election procedures in place for ICMI.  Due to 
some delays of which I assume full responsability, the deadlines for 
the various nominations have been modified.  Please see details below.

The next ICMI General Assembly will be held in July 2012 in Seoul, 
South Korea, on the occasion of the 12th International Congress on 
Mathematical Education (ICME-12).  This General Assembly will elect 
the 2013-2016 Executive Committee of ICMI.

This Call for nominations is being sent to IMU/ICMI member countries 
Adhering Organization (AO), Committee for Mathematics and ICMI 
Representative (when applicable).  However nominations should be 
submitted by the Adhering Organization and sent to the 
Secretary-General of ICMI.
1-)  CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE ICMI NOMINATING COMMITTEE
DEADLINE:  MARCH 25, 2011

Please follow the following guidelines:

experience of ICMI affairs, cannot work in the same country as the

and New Zealand ---, and cannot be a current member of the ICMI 
Executive Committee.  (This person also cannot work in the same 
country as the Chair of the Nominating Committee and the person 
chosen by the IMU EC, but this restriction will be applied at a later 
stage, as these two members of the Nominating Committee are at this 
moment unknown.)
