[Asis-standards] Fwd: [NISO nisovoting] Groups - Ballot opened: "NISO Board of Directors Directors Election (2013-2016)"

[McGarry, Dorothy]

I don't know any of the people. However, I think it would be useful to have the AIP person because of the need for, and use of, standards in science and technology, and it would probably be useful to have a librarian on the Board also (I don't know the current composition and whether there are already several librarians on the Board).
