Dear all,

The BCS Information Retrieval specialist group invites nominations for the
following positions:
- Chair
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Membership Secretary
- 2 ordinary members of the committee

Those elected will serve a two-year term commencing from the 2024 AGM (held
on the 26th November 2024 after the Search Solutions Tutorials).

The committee seeks to promote Information Retrieval throughout the world
and takes decisions on a number of important matters including the location
of ECIR, allocating funds for student travel support, organising other
meetings and conferences including Search Solutions, running the Karen
Sp=C3=A4rck Jones Award and a number of other activities.

The committee normally meets four times per year, usually in London, with
most members attending via Video conference.

Nominations should have the written support of a nominator and seconder,
and the written confirmation of the person nominated that they wish to
stand. The person standing, the nominator and seconder should all be
members of the group (if you receive this message you are almost certainly
eligible to stand or act as a nominator or seconder). However, note
candidates for Chair, Membership Secretary and Treasurer must be
professional members of the BCS.

Nominations should include a brief biography (one paragraph), and a brief
statement of why you wish to stand (one paragraph). In line with the BCS
goals related to diversity and inclusion, we welcome nominations from less
represented groups including women and BAME.

Only members of the BCS may vote in the election.

Nominations should be sent by email to the Secretary of the Group: Monica
Lestari Paramita ([email protected]), the Chair: Udo Kruschwitz (
chair.irsg-odSCf/[email protected]), and the vice-Chair: Graham McDonald (
[email protected]) by 17:00 (UK) on Thursday 2 November 2024.

Please feel free to contact myself and Udo Kruschwitz with any requests for
further information.

Kind regards,

Monica Lestari Paramita
Secretary to the BCS IRSG Committee
