Dear ICGI members,

Below is the list of candidates who have accepted nominations for the various ICGI offices. Candidates, if you wish to post a brief (1 paragraph) statement about your credentials and/or intentions as an officeholder, please email it to Jing Yu by no later than 8 February (jing.yu@wsu.edu), to be posted at the election site.

Jing, please open the site for votes at your earliest convenience after 8 February, and advise the membership by email of the url.

Thanks AP

PS: As I was writing this, I realized that one candidate has been nominated for two offices. Since this is contrary to our bylaws, I will contact the candidate to determine which office he prefers to run for.
