Call for Nominations for Directors -- EXTENDED
COIN-OR Foundation

Nominations are solicited for candidates for positions on the Strategic
Leadership Board (SLB) and the Technical Leadership Council (TLC) of the COIN-OR
Foundation (www.coin-or.org).  Candidates should have an active interest in the
operations and evolution of COIN-OR and be committed to active participation in
SLB or TLC business.  For more information on the activities of and expectations
for directors, prospective candidates are encouraged to contact any of the
current directors listed at www.coin-or.org/foundation.html#slb.

Two directors each will be elected to the SLB and TLC.  There are no eligibility
requirements for these positions; in particular, current membership in COIN-OR
is not required.  Users and contributors who are not themselves COIN-OR project
managers are particularly encouraged to run.

For all director positions, a candidate may be nominated by any member of the
Foundation.  Self-nomination is encouraged.  The nomination must be seconded by
a full member of the Foundation.  Incumbent directors are eligible for
nomination.

Nominations should be emailed to the president (president at coin-or.org) and
will be accepted through September 24, 2009.  Candidates must agree to be
nominated and will be contacted to provide a short biography and statement to be
distributed to the voters prior to the election.

Elections for directors of the COIN-OR Foundation will be held in late September
and early October 2009.  All Full Members of the Foundation are eligible to
vote; more information on membership can be found at
