Notice is hereby given for the following.

1. Election of Chair

There were no nominations in 2018 for the position of Chair, which is therefore vacant. Anyone who wishes to stand should ask a member to nominate them for the post: in case of difficulty, please approach the committee. The term of Chair runs for two years from the AGM.

Nominations should be sent to the Secretary, by 23:59 on 1st November. The candidate should also confirm that they are happy to stand, and may be send a statement for circulation to members in support of their candidature.

If there is a contested election then there will be an electronic ballot. Details of the candidates and supporting statements will be circulated on Sunday 3rd November and voting will close at 23:59 on Friday 15th November.

2. Elections for the committee

The term of all committee members (with the exception of the Chair) expires at the end of the AGM. Anyone who wishes to stand should contact the Secretary at any time before the AGM. Nominations should be submitted by the candidate and supported by a second member.

Most of the business of the committee is carried out electronically, so a remote location should be no barrier. UK-TUG will pay reasonable travel expenses for attending committee meetings.

There will be a committee meeting after the AGM, likely at around 16:30.

3. Motions for the AGM

Any member may submit a motion to the AGM. Motions should be sent to the Secretary at the e-mail address above, and should be received by 23:59 on Friday 1st November. Motions and supporting documentation will be circulated on Sunday 3rd November.

Members not able to attend the AGM will be able to propose and vote on motions remotely. Details will be given with the motions when circulated.

As well as the CTAN node, tex.ac.uk has hosted the English TeX FAQ for many years, again at least formally the ‘UK-TUG FAQ’. Those questions and answers are extremely useful and more importantly linked to by a lot of people.

We’ve now made arrangements to move tex.ac.uk to a new machine and moved the FAQ across, keeping (hopefully) all of the links working. At the same time the CTAN node has been retired: DANTE are happy to run a single core node and co-ordinate the work needed for that system. UK-TUG thank Robin for his efforts over many years on CTAN and the FAQ, DANTE for taking on the key role in supporting CTAN, and our hosting partner for the new tex.ac.uk server, Stefan Kottwitz. UK-TUG will be co-ordinating work to continue maintaining and improving the FAQ and we expect to announce more details in the near future.

Notice is hereby given for the following.

Election for Chair

The two-year term of office of the Chair, Simon Dales, finishes at the end of the AGM. Anyone who wishes to stand should ask a member to nominate them for the post: in case of difficulty, please approach the committee.

Nominations should be sent to the Secretary by 23:59 on the 14th of November. The candidate should also confirm that they are happy to stand, and may be send a statement for circulation to members in support of their candidature.

If there is a contested election then there will be an electronic ballot. Details of the candidates and supporting statements will be circulated on Sunday 16th November and voting will close at 23:59 on Thursday 27th November.

Elections for the committee

The term of all committee members expires at the end of the AGM (with the exception of the Chair, as detailed above). Anyone who wishes to stand should contact the Secretary at any time before the AGM. Most of the business of the committee is carried out electronically, so a remote location should be no barrier. The mechanism for nominations is similar to that for Chair, with a nomination from a member along with confirmation from the candidate, although there is no need to submit any kind of statement.

Motions for the AGM

Any member may submit a motion to the AGM. Motions should be sent to the Secretary, and should be received by 23:59 on Friday 14th November. Motions and supporting documentation will be
circulated on Sunday 16th November.

Voting on motions will be possible by proxy for members not able to attend the AGM. Full details will be given with the motions when circulated.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Elections for the committee

The term of all committee members with the exception of the Chair expires at the end of the AGM. Anyone who wishes to stand should contact the Secretary at any time before the AGM. Most of the business of the committee is carried out electronically, so a remote location should be no barrier.

Nominations require support of a member of UK-TUG in other than the candidate themselves. This has to be received by the Secretary prior to
the formal start of the AGM. In case of difficulty in finding a member to support nomination, please contact the committee.

Note that the UK-TUG Chair is elected for a two year period, and our current Chair (Simon Dales) is half-way through his term. He therefore continues as Chair for a second year with no election required.

Motions for the AGM

Any member may submit a motion to the AGM. Motions should be sent to the Secretary, and should be received by 23:59
on Friday 25th October. Motions and supporting documentation will be circulated on Sunday 27th October. Voting on motions will be possible by proxy for members not able to attend the AGM. Full details will be given with the motions when circulated.
