Any “Professional” member of the ICGI is eligible to serve as an officer. A

scientific research position. Individuals actively engaged in obtaining an academic
degree or employed by a for-profit company are not eligible to serve as ICGI officers.
ICGI members can be nominated for only one position per election, but in
successive elections can be nominated for positions other than the one they

Subject: [ICGI] Vote for ICGI Amendment
Colleagues, past ICGI elections have been subject to several challenges including 1) the 'nomination to candidate' process and 2) voter eligibility. Difficulties have arisen due to too many candidates being listed for a single position and voting eligibility irregularities related to membership. Each of the three proposed amendments have been approved by a majority vote of the ICGI Executive Steering Committee.
Members of ICGI are asked to vote one of the three options (Agree/Against/Abstain) for each amendment.
Please go to https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/election/2023/amendment<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.cottongen.org/icgi/election/2023/ame…> for detailed information and follow the instruction to vote.
