Colleagues:<br>
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. <br>
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:<br>

<br>
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:<br>

<br>
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). <br>
<br>
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.<br>

Dear ICMI Representatives, Chairs of ICMI Affiliate
Organizations<br><br>
For the second time in its history the election of the Executive
Committee of the<i> International Commission on Mathematical
Instruction</i> (ICMI) will take place during the General Assembly of
ICMI. The purpose of this message is to launch a TRIPLE CALL FOR

Korea, on the occasion of the 12th International Congress on Mathematical
