        Subject: Call for nominations for the new HaPoC Council

History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC)
Council nominations

As every two years, the Commission for the History and Philosophy of
Computing, HaPoC, announces its call for nominations for the new
Council, to be elected during the next HaPoC Conference in Warsaw on
October 18-20.

HaPoC’s Council consists of 10 councilors, among which are voted a new
president-elect and a treasurer.

Nominations should be addressed to the Commission’s president at
info@hapoc.org before August 18.

Following HaPoC’s bylaws, the election procedure shall be as follows:

(a) Any member of the commission can be nominated as a councilor.
Nominations can be submitted by any member of the commission and shall
be submitted to the president in writing. Nominations have to be
received at least two months before the meeting of the commission. The
president shall contact the nominee and find out whether he or she
accepts the nomination. Acceptance is necessary for the nomination to
become valid.

(b) If there are ten or fewer valid nominations, the president informs
the council and the nominees are declared elected unopposed. If there
are more than ten nominations, the president shall notify the council of
this and an election will take place during the meeting of the
commission. The election will take place by approval voting: each
present member can approve as many of the nominees as they want. The ten
nominees with the highest number of approval votes are elected. In the
case of ties, a lot is cast.

(c) After the ten councilors are elected, they shall all declare whether
they would accept an election for president-elect, treasurer, or
president if the situation so requires. The members of the council then
elect the president-elect, treasurer, and president if the situation so
requires by approval vote. In the case of a tie, a lot is cast.

Any further questions concerning the election of HaPoC’s Council should
be addressed at info@hapoc.org
