The biennial election for officers and directors of the Association will be held in the spring of 2000. A report from the Nominating Committee will be posted to <comp.org.usenix> and the USENIX Web site in mid-December and will be published in the February issue of ;login:.

Nominations from the membership are open until January 26, 2000.

To nominate an individual, send a written statement of nomination signed by at least five (5) members in good standing (or five separate nominations) to the Executive Director at the Association office, to be received by noon, P.S.T., January 26, 2000. Please include a Candidate's Statement and a photograph.

Ballot notices will be sent to all paid-up members on or about February 17. Members will have until March 29 to cast their vote. The results of the election will be announced on <comp.org.usenix> and the USENIX Web site, as well as in the June issue of ;login:.

The Board is made up of eight directors, four of whom are "at large." The others are the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

The balloting is preferential; those candidates with the largest number of votes are elected. Ties in elections for Directors result in run-off elections, the results of which are determined by a majority of the votes cast.

Newly elected directors will take office at the conclusion of the first regularly scheduled meeting following the election, or on July 1, whichever comes earlier.
