Russell Sherwood  Saturday, April 8, 2023

According to ICCF Statute 22(1) and the ICCF Voting Regulations and Electoral Procedures, paragraph 5, the following procedures and timescale will apply for mid-term appointments to the ICCF Executive Board.

 

1. Nominations are invited from respective Member Federations for the following position:

 

Finance Director

 

It is the right of each member federation to nominate candidates for the above position, providing that:

 

1.       The nominee is a current member of their Federation (which must be a full ICCF Member Federation), and,

2.       The nominee has confirmed their willingness to be nominated.

 

Nominations from Member Federations should be sent to the General Secretary, Michael Millstone ([email protected]), with a copy to the Auditor, Paul Scott ([email protected]), to reach them no later than April 30, 2023.

 

Each nomination should include a written declaration from the candidate indicating their willingness to be nominated and a personal statement (optional) providing information supporting their candidacy.

 

When all nominations have been received, the information will be issued to all member federations immediately; after that, the nomination windows close to enable them to consider all the candidates and decide upon voting preferences.  

 

Voting:

 

The election will begin on May 14. 2023 and continue until May 31, 2023, 23:59 GMT.

 

The candidate with the most votes will be elected. In case of a tie for most votes, the President will decide.

 

The winner’s announcement will occur immediately after the election, and because the position is vacant, the winner will assume the position immediately.

 

If no nomination is received from the Member Federations for any Executive Board position, the Executive Board will be empowered to appoint an Official.

 

Personal statements of candidates should not be published in commercial magazines/internet sites, etc., until after they have all been circulated by ICCF to the official delegates of member federations (as below).

 

Election campaigning/soliciting for votes, etc., should only occur after the complete list of candidates, accompanied by their personal statements, has been officially released by ICCF, as indicated above.
