Subject: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - Chairman, ISO/IEC JTC 1

The position of the Chairman of ISO/IEC JTC 1 will become vacant following the June 1998 JTC 1 Plenary meeting in Sendai, Japan, as noted in JTC 1 N 5222. In order to be prepared to put forth a U.S. candidate, this call for volunteers is being issued to the members of the JTC 1 TAG and will close on March 30, 1998.

Any member of the JTC 1 TAG meeting the requirements set forth below is welcome to volunteer to serve. Before one considers doing so, however, the commitment in time and responsibilities should be considered. Officers must actively support the administrative structure that ensures due process to all participants and assist in reaching consensus.

Those willing to make this commitment must submit three written statements in support of their candidacy:

  1. A statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the group's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities.

  2. A statement of management support for a three-year term on company letterhead acknowledging the additional workload, financial resources and duties required of an officer.

    The statement of management support for the three-year term is a good faith commitment, not a legal binding commitment. If future circumstances require the applicant to resign from the office before the term has been fulfilled, this will be accepted without prejudice.

  3. A statement acknowledging that the candidate is a representative of a U.S. domiciled organization.

    4. The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position should be sent to the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's attention no later than March 30, 1998.
