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.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It has been entirely too long since the ICGI has been able to join in fellowship to discuss new research findings and reconnect with friends, collaborators, and colleagues. I am very excited to announce that we will hold the ICGI workshop at PAG 2023 on January 15, 2023 in San Diego, CA, USA!
We have an excellent slate of speakers lined up to share their research findings. The specific location of the workshop at the Town and Country hotel in San Diego will be provided to you at a later date; however the workshop will be held from 4:00 - 6:10p PST on January 15, 2023.
In addition, we are planning a networking/social event following the workshop at a venue TBD later. Once these details are finalized, we will communicate with you.
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend! It is my understanding that the entire conference will ONLY be in-person. Please share this information with any friends and colleagues that are not current members of ICGI.
Best Regards,
Todd
