Dear Jane,
Do we cast just one vote for the advisory committee members, or do we
select 5 people (as there are slots open)?
Cheers, 
Laurel

Dear all

Sorry about resending this message, but it has been pointed out to me
that the e-mail address of Ana Ostermann, Secretary of IGALA, to whom
you should send your vote, was missing from the message. I did
deliberately cc. her but certainly on the copy I received her name has
disappeared from there.

Ana’s e-mail address is

ACO at unisinos.br

(and cc-d above too just in case it works there this time)

Best wishes to all

Jane

Subject: Election of Advisory Committee members

Dear all

As you will recall, we are about to elect new members of the IGALA
Advisory Council. From a previous message:

IGALA is seeking between 5 and 8 members for the Advisory Council, to
replace current Advisory Council members. We are looking for as broad a
geographic spectrum as possible (in particular, non-English-dominant
countries). One Advisory Council member will be a Graduate Student
Representative. The other members should be able to represent key areas
of gender and language research, and, together, a range of research
priorities.
Advisory Council members will be part of the IGALA Executive Committee
and will attend (in person or electronically) all meetings if at all
possible. The first of these will be at IGALA5 in Wellington, New
Zealand (July 3-5, 2008); the next will be an e-meeting around 12 months
after that. The term of office will be 3 years.
==================================================================
Also as a reminder, the ‘Job description’ of AC members is as follows:

- monitoring and promoting language and gender research in their own
specialist area within IGALA
- monitoring and promoting language and gender research within their own
geographical region
- carrying out various tasks and serving on sub-committees or working
parties of IGALA as required (for example, web-site monitoring, essay
competition, local event/branch development and co-ordination, 'talking
to the world' - see Minutes of last AGM on IGALA website
HYPERLINK
"http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/organisations/igala/activities.html"
\nhttp://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/organisations/igala/activities.html)
- suggesting to the IGALA Executive/Advisory Committee further
IGALA-related activities
- actively contributing to IGALA Executive/Advisory committee e-mail
discussions

and for the Graduate Student Representative

*        to bring issues to IGALA that are of concern and importance to
graduate students
*        to work with other IGALA members and members of the Executive
Committee to make graduate students an active and visible presence
within IGALA
*        to facilitate graduate contributions’ to and representation at
the IGALA conferences and their involvement in other professional
activities
*        in coordination with the conference organizers and other
members of the IGALA executive committee and membership, to develop one
graduate student workshop at each IGALA conference on a topic or topics
relevant to the professional and intellectual development of graduate
students and junior academic staff/faculty
*        to be a member of the committee in charge of the IGALA Graduate
Student Essay Competition (to be chaired by the President-Elect/Vice
President)

All paid-up members of IGALA (including the candidates) are able to
vote, and every member has just one vote. Please send the name of the
person you would like to vote for to Ana Ostermann, IGALA Secretary (cc.
above). If you are not a member of IGALA but would like to join (and
vote), please see the Link below. If your application to join IGALA is
pending please let Ana know this. Remember that membership of IGALA
includes a subscription to the ‘Gender and Language’ journal, now in its
second successful year.
The list of candidates is attached. As you will see, there are two
candidates for the post of Graduate Student Representative. Please do
not distinguish between these and the other candidates when you vote. If
these candidates both receive a high number of votes it is likely that
we will invite the one with the higher number to be the GSR, and the
other to be an ‘ordinary’ member.
All votes should be cast one by month (28 days) from today, i.e. by the
end of Tuesday Feb. 5, 2008.
With best wishes to all
Jane Sunderland (IGALA President) and Vicky Bergvall (IGALA Vice
President/President Elect)
