>Penny Eckert and others at Stanford have been hard at work in getting the
>first IGALA conference under way. They've made a lot of progress, but
>they're at the point where they need an advisory program committee to give
>some assistance. However, we as an organization are not yet at the point of
>nominating and electing officers and committee members (although we'll be
>beginning that process soon).
>
>In light of the urgent need to assemble such a committee, Penny has asked
>that IGALA authorize a one-time waiver of the nomination and election
>process and instead vote to authorize an appointed slate, which she
>(Penny) has put together. These committee members will serve *for
>this conference only*; the program committee for the next conference
>will be selected via nomination and election.
>
>The facilitators agree that this one-time exception to the procedures is
>necessary, if approved by the membership. We therefore ask you to vote to
>approve or reject the following slate for the program committee. Please
>send your votes (for 1 or 2) to me (mcrowhurst at mail.utexas.edu) by
>Monday, Sept. 27.
