<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings – Tatyana Nikolova (Intel) has been nominated by Intel to fill one of the two IWG co-chair slots.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to our current procedures and existing Bylaws, it’s the Board’s prerogative to fill WG chair positions, but we don’t currently have a defined procedure for voting on working group co-chairs. But we do have such a procedure for
filling Officer vacancies. So we’ll use the same procedure, which is as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“For any Officer position which is vacant, or becomes vacant, outside of the regular annual voting cadence, such vacancy can be filled at any regularly scheduled Board Meeting provided
that a nomination to fill such a vacancy is published to the appropriate email reflector no later than

the beginning of a nomination period, with such nomination period to close </span>

for the targeted Board Meeting.”</span><span style="font-size:5.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If it’s not already clear, this email will serve as a nomination falling outside the fourteen day window. Additional nominations, if any will be accepted until 72 hours prior to the February 21 Board meeting (i.e. Monday, 2/18/19 at 10AM
PST). And yes, that Monday is President’s day, so please get your nominations in early.<o:p></o:p></p>
