If anyone reading this notice + here is a member, but did not already receive a copy by email, + please let us know by sending a message to tug@mail.tug.org + including your correct, preferred email address.

Since there were fewer nominated candidates than vacant +positions, in accordance with the Election Procedures, the candidates +who did submit nomination papers are declared elected. No ballots +will be circulated. + +The open positions, as announced, were President and six members +of the Board of Directors. + +The following individuals will be taking positions on the Board +of Directors for 4-year terms ending in 2001: + + Donna Burnette + Mimi Jett + Patricia Monohon + Arthur Ogawa + Petr Sojka + +In the absence of a ballot, the statements of candidacy which would +have appeared there will be published instead in TUGboat 18#1. + +Four Board members whose terms were due to end in 1998 had agreed +that they would be willing for their terms to be extended to 1999 +to accommodate a change in the election schedule from annually to +every two years (see the election announcement, TUGboat 17#3, p.240). +Had there been a ballot, their names would have been listed there +for confirmation by the membership. However, in the absence of a +ballot, it is proposed that, in accordance with the Bylaws (Article +VII, Section 10), the incoming President confirm the extension +of their terms. These Board members are: + + Barbara Beeton + Karl Berry + Judy Johnson + Jiri Zlatuska + +There is no candidate for TUG President. This poses a problem. +Although the Bylaws and Election Procedures provide for the filling +of vacant Board positions by appointment, no provision exists for +the absence of a candidate for President. There is not sufficient +time left before the annual meeting in July to solicit additional +candidates and circulate ballots. + +In order to ensure that the necessary decisions are arrived at in +a democratic manner, and that the incoming Board has some say in +the matters which will affect them most directly, Michel Goossens, +the outgoing President, has appointed the new members to the Board +for a temporary period effective immediately, to expire when their +regular term begins. + +It is proposed that individuals wishing to present themselves as +candidates for President do so in the following manner, with the +election be held during the annual TUG business meeting which will +take place during the TUG annual meeting in San Francisco +(July 28 - August 1). + +Any TUG member in good standing who will be present at the annual +business meeting may submit a valid nomination form and supporting +statement (see the announcement in TUGboat 17#3 or the TUG Web pages, +http://www.tug.org) no later than Monday, July 28 (the first day +of the meeting), and be prepared to present his/her program at the +business meeting, (currently scheduled for Thursday, July 31). + +(All TUG members are reminded that except for certain transactions +such as personnel matters, which legally are privileged, Board +meetings are open to members as observers.) The Board meeting is +scheduled to be held on Saturday and Sunday, July 26-27, at the main +meeting site; room details will be posted when available. Candidates +for President are encouraged to attend. + +Nomination forms and supporting documentation should be submitted to +the Elections Committee by one of two methods: (1) by July 15, sent +to the address below rather than to the address given in the TUGboat +announcement, or (2) July 26-28, brought to the meeting and delivered +in person to one of the undersigned committee members. If sending +forms by mail or fax, please confirm this to the Committee at the +email address below; electronic copies of candidates' statements +may also be sent to this address any time before the meeting. + +In order for this business to be transacted legally, at least 50 TUG +members must be present to form a quorum (Bylaws, Article III, Section 6). +It is therefore very important for members to attend this meeting, in order +to help define the future of our organization. + + For the Elections Committee + Sebastian Rahtz, Barbara Beeton + +Address for submission of nominations for TUG President: +Barbara Beeton +TUG Elections Committee +American Mathematical Society +P.O.
