[BOAI] Open Repositories Steering Committee - Call for Nominations

[Iryna Kuchma]

The Open Repositories Steering Committee (ORSC) is pleased to announce that
we are opening nominations for standing members to join the OR Steering
Committee.

ORSC manages the annual Open Repositories conference and consists of a
maximum of 12 standing members (who serve three-year terms) as well as the
chairs of the host and program committees for the annual conferences. We
have three open slots for standing members, and we are inviting
nominations, including self-nominations. The nomination deadline is July
24th 2020.

The nomination form is available here: https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FF6hQhd6wM7kjf7QbA&data=01%7C01%7Cboai-forum%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Cd033e030c6364a3e64f908d819c20d37%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=QOADcsbvbpnWX7hKi3l4vh9%2FokIhH161s5S0jXu5mP8%3D&reserved=0

Nominees should have participated in at least one previous OR conference,
ideally have been a member of a program or host committee for an OR
conference, and have extensive experience with repositories and the
international repository community. Some type of experience with the Open
Repositories conference is necessary to join the ORSC.

ORSC members are expected to take part in a range of activities throughout
the year, as well as those specifically related to the conference. Examples
of member activities include:

   - Regular attendance at OR if at all possible. We note that for some
   potential members this can be difficult due to cost, travel, and schedules;
   the OR SC cannot provide funding for members to attend.
   - Participating in the majority of the monthly committee meetings,
   including the in-person meeting that takes place at the conference every
   year.
   - Participation in ad hoc or standing committees (e.g. Scholarship, Code
   of Conduct, Finance, etc.).
   - Serving specific conference roles such as Program Chair or Poster
   Chair.
   - Reflecting OR news and announcements (e.g. Calls for Papers,
   Expressions of Interest) via mailing lists and through social media.
   - Timely participation in all discussions, in-person and online.
   - Reviewing conference proposals and submissions.
   - Reviewing conference host bids.
   - Selecting new standing members for the ORSC.

We strongly recommend that potential nominees refer to the conference
handbook for more information about the role of the ORSC:

asked to submit the following information:

   brief description of the nominee’s role.

   previous four years.
   - Statement of interest, e.g. why the nominee wants to join the Steering
   Committee.

members will be expected to join the ORSC in September for a three-year
period.
