[Asis-standards] NISO Election

[Mark Needleman]

Betty

that's the kind of advice I was looking for - I also know Chuck - he used to work here at what used to be FCLA

your point about a publisher is a good one

In that case, it's perhaps not so simple.  As co-chair of a NISO Topic Committee, I see a real need for publishers and vendors to participate actively in the work of NISO, so I would actually cast a vote for the Elsevier person.  As someone who works for one of the USMAI Consortium institution, I highly recommend Chuck Thomas.  Which leaves a choice between 2 library deans, neither of whom I know although I'd love to see smaller libraries represented.  This is admittedly heresy, how could we not vote for Sayeed Choudhury, so I defer to the majority here.

sory forgot to mention that - its 3 so that vote has a little impact

the vote for Vice Chair usually only has 1 candidate

In fact 1 year I was asked to be on the nominating committee for Vice Chair - I never did any work or heard anything but a few months later I got a letter from NOS thanking me for nominating the candidate who was on the ballott

How many slots are there for the Board of Directors?  I.e., are the 4 candidates listed here uncontested or does the vote have an actual impact?

My personal feeling is we should vote for the folks from the libraries - unless any wants to be nominated or knows of someone who should be nominated

2) 2015 Official Ballot NISO Board Vice Chair Election this is for the NISO Vice Chair/Chair-Elect

there is not a lot of choice unless someone wants to be nominated or knows of someone who should be nominated
