| Subject: | Notification that the Disbandment of B5 will be Addressed at the November 2002 INCITS EB Meeting Unless a Candidate to Serve as Chairman has been Identified |
Background
The second call for volunteers to serve as B5 Chairman closed without response on January 12, 2002. At the February 2002 INCITS EB meeting, Mr. Steinbrenner's term was extended until the August 2002 meeting of the INCITS Executive Board.
At the August 2002 meeting, the INCITS Executive Board discussed the status of B5 since SC 11 had indicated its intent to remain active. It was noted that B5 had been operating without a formally appointed Chairman since October 2001. The committee agreed that B5 must have a formally appointed Chairman to remain a viable committee.
Requested Action
This correspondence serves as formal notification that in the absence of a candidate to serve as B5 Chairman, the disbandment of B5 will be considered at the November 2002 INCITS Executive Board meeting. The expired second call, detailing the documentation required of a candidate, is attached. Candidates interested in serving as the B5 Chairman should submit the required documentation to the attention of Jennifer Garner (jgarner@itic.org) no later than October 15, 2002.NCITS

Subject: SECOND CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - Chairman - NCITS/B5, Flexible Magnetic Media and Formats
The term of office of the current NCITS/B5 Chairman, Mr. Richard Steinbrenner, expires in December 2001. The first call for volunteers closed with no response on October 24, 2001. In order to allow all members of NCITS/B5 an opportunity to serve in this capacity, we are issuing this second call for volunteers to close on January 12, 2002.
Any member of the NCITS Subgroup is welcome to volunteer to serve. Before one considers doing so, however, the commitment in time and responsibilities should be considered. Officers must actively support the administrative structure that ensures due process to all participants, assists in reaching consensus and protects the accreditation of the entire system. [There is no limit to the number of terms an individual may serve. There is a rule prohibiting one individual from being appointed to two or more offices of the same committee simultaneously.]
The NCITS/SD-2, Organization, Rules and Procedures of NCITS, generally describes officers' responsibilities, and a more detailed list of duties has been compiled in the NCITS/SD-8, Officers' Reference Manual.
Those willing to make this commitment must submit three written statements in support of their candidacy:
The statement of management support for the three-year term is a good faith commitment, not a legal binding commitment. If future circumstances require the applicant to resign from the office before the term has been fulfilled, this will be accepted without prejudice.
Any supplemental materials will be forwarded along with the advisory ballot to NCITS, which appoints all NCITS Subgroup officers. The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position on the NCITS Subgroup should be sent to the attention of Jennifer Garner no later than January 12, 2002.
