Dear colleagues:

As you are aware, the elections of IAG Officers for the period 2023-2027 shall take place by electronic vote before the 2023 IAG General Assembly in Berlin, Germany. The procedures for nominations and elections of Officers are given in section 39 of the IAG By-Laws. According to the IAG Statutes, Section 12, the voting members of the IAG Executive Committee that are to be elected are the following: 

  • President, 
  • Vice-President, 
  • Secretary General, 
  • Presidents of Commissions (4), 
  • Service representatives (3), 
  • Members-at-large (2), and the 
  • President of the Communication and Outreach Branch. 
Their eligibility and terms of office are outlined in section 40 of the IAG By-Laws.

The Nominating Committee is inviting you to submit nominations as follows:

  • Submit nominations for all Officer positions listed above, except for the Service representatives who will be submitted by the Services.
  • All nominations should be submitted to me, electronically or by regular mail, to the address given at the end of this letter.
  • The deadline to submit nominations is 31 October 2022.

Based on the nominations received, the Nomination Committee will prepare a list of candidates for each position to be filled (normally two candidates per position) and will send it to the eligible voters and nominators: IAG Council Delegates, the IAG Officers, and those IAG Fellows and Individual members who took part in the nomination process by March 2023. New nominations could be added to the list of candidates, provided they are supported by at least two IAG Council Delegates by April 2023. In April 2023 the final list of candidates will be sent out to the IAG Council Delegates for election. The result of the elections will be announced by May 2023.

The election of the two Members-at-large will be a two-step process. Candidates for the two positions will be determined after the elections for all other members of the Executive Committee have been completed. In order to ensure better geographic diversity of the IAG Officers, the slate of candidates for the positions of Members-at-large will be compiled in May2023. 

This slate will then be presented to the eligible voters, and the results of the second round of   lections will be announced in June 2023.

For any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact either me, or any of the other members of the Nominating Committee listed at the top of this letter.

I am looking forward to receiving your nominations and I thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.


Yours truly,
