The Open Grid Forum (OGF) Nominations Committee (NOMCOM) is looking for nominations for open positions as Open Grid Forum Area Directors and also for Vice President Standards. These positions arise from the normal process of term of office expiry, resignations and from the transition from the GGF and EGA to the merged OGF where previous Area Directors have moved to other leadership positions. This is a new call for nominations with new open positions. This call offers an opportunity to become part of the new OGF leadership team and to contribute to the early development of the new organisation. All members of the OGF are eligible to stand for these positions and are encouraged to do so. You can submit your candidate nominations to nomcom@ogf.org or to any of the NOMCOM members listed below. Self-nominations are accepted. The deadline for nominations is midnight Sunday, November 19th, 2006 UTC.
