Now that we have venue and accommodations confirmed for our Fall Workshop in Denver, our attention switches to the AGM and the elections for the Board of Directors. DNS-OARC has two seats on the board which are up for election this year. We are looking for nominations for candidates willing to serve a two-year term on the Board and contribute to the continued growth of OARC. The Board meets monthly, by teleconference, to review DNS-OARC operations. We expect our directors to actively contribute to the various ongoing, email based, discussions and provide feedback as needed. An ideal candidate will be one with the business experience to help formulate strategy and guide the policy that drives DNS-OARC. To be eligible, a candidate must be from an DNS-OARC Member in good standing. If you would like to nominate (or self-nominate) a candidate, please send an email to board2010@dns-oarc.net with a brief background. We will be asking nominees for a statement of interest along the lines of what was done last year (https://www.dns-oarc.net/node/180). Cut off for nominations is September 30th. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Thanks Wayne MacLaurin Executive Director, DNS-OARC wayne@dns-oarc.net
