                 ISSNNet Official Call for Nominations
______________________________________________________________________

The International Student Society for Neural Netwoks (ISSNNet) is in
the process of re-organizing.  The founders are no longer students and
it is time to create a new administration.  The first step in this
process is to hold elections as per the existing bylaws.  The current
officers are preparing reports on what has been accomplished so far and
are laying the groundwork for the new organization.  The newly elected
officers should be willing to take the task of finalizing this
re-organization.

Official nomination period: June 1st through 30th.  Nominations will be
accepted by email, surface mail, or in person at IJCNN92 (look for
ISSNNet signs in the exhibition hall). As per the bylaws, nominations
will be approved by the Governing board and the current Officers.  At
least two and no more than four nominees will be placed on the ballot
for each Officer position. Selection will be based on the number of
member nominations.

Election ballots will be mailed (either by surface mail or electronic
mail) on August 1st, 1992 and voting shall be closed on August 31st,
1992. Election to Officer positions will be based on plurality of
votes among the selected nominees.

All four officer positions are up for election:

   Position:        Duties:
   ==============   =================================================
   
   President        Chief execute officer and Spokesperson.  The
		    President is responsible for making sure that the
		    society continues to function as described in the
		    Bylaws.
   
   Vice President   Assist the President.

   Director         Oversees practical organizational matters.  
                    Responsible for elections.
   
   Treasurer        Responsible for all monies.

Qualifications for potential nominees: The nominee must be enrolled at
a recognized academic institution (proof of student status will be
required) AND HAVE RELIABLE ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC MAIL. Each nomination
must be supported by at least 10 student members. No more than two
Officers may belong to the same Area of Jurisdiction (Country, State,
Province, Region, etc. with at least five student members). Moreover,
the President and Vice President may not belong to the same Area of
Jurisdiction.

Because ISSNNet membership processing has been suspended for some
time, anyone who has been a member of ISSNNet in the past can submit
or support a nomination. This includes students outside the USA who
were unable to submit dues because of exchange problems, but who have
been on our mailing list in the past, directly through ISSNNet or
through one of the Governors.
