Update from the 2014 Nominating Committee Chair

1 April 2014

Interested in being considered for a Leadership Position by the 2014
Nominating Committee (NomCom)? Your "Candidacy Application Request form"
needs to have been received and therefore, formally *initialised,* by our
closing deadline. That deadline is TODAY, 23:59 UTC on 1 April 2014.

This year, the NomCom has introduced a new application procedure designed
to make it easier to apply. Here are some answers to questions you might
have about this new procedure.
Q. I've sent off my "Candidacy Application Request form" from the NomCom
website, now what happens?

A. Providing the Candidacy Application Request form step is taken any time
before the deadline of 23:59 UTC on 1 April 2014, staff will acknowledge
its receipt and then prepare a personalised and dedicated application form
space for you to complete a 'pro-forma' Statement of Interest form. This
contains about six or so questions/ sections. You will receive a link and
log on credentials (unless you already have them) to complete the form.
Sufficient time is being provided for you to complete the Statement of
Interest step of the process even if you initialise the process right up to
the deadline. The deadline for providing the NomCom with your completed
application form is 23:59 UTC on 7 April 2014.
Q. I have received my link and log on but have not yet completed all the
form sections. Does this have to be done before 23:59 UTC on 1 April 2014?

A. As long as you have initialised the process before 23:59 UTC on 1 April
2014, you have until 23:59 UTC on 7 April 2014 to complete the next step.
Q. This is very different to what has happened previously isn't it?

A. Yes. This new system now allows applicants to save and edit their
application (previously all needed to be done in a single session) before
submitting the completed form. The set of questions presented is also
reduced to only the section a candidate is interested in. The new system
also allows for easier cut and paste of externally prepared documents, and
materials including images, videos presentations web links to third party
Bio and CV sites etc.
