Subject:Call for Volunteers - Convener, JTC 1/SC 25/WG 4 - Interconnection of Computer Systems and Attached Equipment

Due to the recent resignation of the current SC 25/WG 4 Convener/Secretariat, Mr. Jurgen Margner, the SC 25 Secretariat has issued a call to the SC 25 Member Bodies to identify a replacement. A US candidate has come forward.

In order to be prepared to put forth a US candidate prior to the June 30, 2003 closing date, this call for volunteers to serve as the US candidate for SC 25/WG 4 Convener/Secretariat is being issued to the members of INCITS/T10 and T11 and will close on February 3, 2003.

Any member of the US TAG meeting the requirements set forth below 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.

Those willing to make this commitment must submit four written statements in support of their candidacy:

  1. A statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the subgroup's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities.

  2. A statement indicating that the volunteer's organization is a member in good standing of the associated US TAG.

  3. A statement of management support for a three-year term on company letterhead acknowledging the additional workload, financial resources and duties required of an officer over and above that of a technical participant.

    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.


  4. A statement as to whether or not the candidate is a representative of a US domiciled organization.

The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position should be sent to the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's attention jgarner@itic.org no later than February 3, 2003.
