For the benefit of those unfamiliar with ICS national officer electiion please explain the duties of the Nominating Committee. Can any member offer his service, or propose a candidate? Thanks.

[Don Nelson]

Yes David,
From ICS Bylaws 2007, ARTICLE VIII, NOMINATIONS AND VOTING

Section 2. Within 90 days following each Annual General Meeting, the Board shall select a Nominating Committee of three or more persons to nominate candidates for officers to be voted upon at the next Annual Voting of Members. Not more than one member of the Nominating Committee shall be a member of the Board, and the President may not appoint to nor serve on the Nominating Committee. No Board member may nominate more than one person to the Nominating Committee, and no Tribe shall be represented on the committee by more than one tribe member.

The Nominating Committee is to nominate one or more members in good standing for each office, and no member of the Nominating Committee may be nominated by the committee for any of the offices, to be filled at the succeeding election.

Section 3. The names and contact information for the Chairperson and members of the Nominating Committee, and a call for nominations, shall be published in the Comanche Flyer in each issue not past deadline from the appointment of the committee until nominations are closed.

Section 4. In addition to candidates proposed by the Nominating Committee, any member in good standing of the Society shall be a candidate if he or she submits to the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee a letter agreeing to serve if elected and letters from three other members in good standing, not more than one of whom is from the same tribe as the potential candidate, nominating the potential candidate and attesting to the potential candidate’s fitness for the position sought. The Chairperson shall immediately acknowledge each communication received from a member wishing to be a candidate or nominating and attesting to another member’s fitness to serve.

BTW, I believe that this year nominations will close around the end of April.

Don Nelson,
Chair, Bylaws committee.

[David Pyle]

Don,

Thank you. That is absolutely clear. Accordingly we assume that the Nominating Committee members and the controlling bylaws will be published in the April FLYER. Then nominations are expected to close the end of April.

In the past there have not been alternative candidates which the process anticipates. That makes election more like an "appointment". Hopefully the selection process will find more candidates this year.

[Dale Vandever]

Dave, the information that you requested will appear on page 3 of the April FLYER.
