LHCb CB-Chair nominations reminder. (lhcb-cb)From: dyk@mail.cern.ch Comments<PRE> Dear LHCb CB-members, on May 31 you received an invitation to nominate candidates for the chair of the LHCb CB. Up till now the search committee has received nominations from ten groups. This mail is to remind you that your nomination(s) should be received by the search committee by July 1, which is already tomorrow! With best regards, The Search Committee: Jacques LeFrancois, Clara Matteuzzi, Andrei Goloutvin and Hans Dijkstra. P.S. The previous mail explaining the rules and inviting you to nominate is included below: Dear LHCb CB-members, The chair of the LHCb CB will become vacant after the next LHCb meeting in Milano (September 25-29). At the last CB a search committee was ratified with the following members: Jacques LeFrancois, Clara Matteuzzi, Andrei Goloutvin and Hans Dijkstra (chair). The search committee aims at the following time schedule: - July 1: close nominations, hence every institute has 4 weeks from now to decide on their nominees. - July&August: verification by the committee on the nominees willingness to serve. - September 1: announce candidates to CB. This will allow the institutes 4 weeks to order the nominees for the election in the CB. - September 28: CB decides to either vote in the meeting, or maybe by postal ballot later. - November 30: First CB meeting under the new Chairperson. At the end of this mail an excerpt is given of what the LHCb constitution says about the chairperson of the CB. A few important points: . The present CB-chairperson (Neville Harnew) cannot be re-elected under normal circumstances. . The Chairperson shall not be an employee of CERN. . The Chairperson shall not be a detector Subsystem Coordinator. A list of the present LHCb coordinators is included at the end of this mail. The search committee invites all institutes to nominate up to two persons in LHCb for the position of CB Chairperson before July 1, 2000. Even if you think your preferred candidate is nominated by someone else, it is useful in this process to also send your nomination since this supplies extra information for the filtering process of the committee. Hence: please do answer. Please email your nominations to: lefrancois@lal.in2p3.fr,clara.matteuzzi@cern.ch,andrey.goloutvin@cern.ch, hans.dijkstra@cern.ch Your nomination will be kept confidential. With best regards, The Search Committee: Jacques LeFrancois, Clara Matteuzzi, Andrei Goloutvin and Hans Dijkstra. Our constitution says the following about the CB-chair: (from http://lhcb.cern.ch/private/constitution/constitution.html). .................. The Chairperson organises meetings of the CB. The Chairperson shall ensure that any major decision taken by the Management appears as an agenda item for discussion in the CB. The Chairperson shall communicate with the CERN Management in exceptional circumstances when desired by the CB (eg. concerning matters of spokespersonship). He/she shall not be an employee of CERN. In the event of an urgent decision which cannot await a CB meeting, and which the Chairperson feels could be counter to the major interests of any of the participating institutes, he/she can instigate an Email vote of the CB. The Chairperson has right of attendance at the Technical Board and the Physics Planning Group. Together with the Management, he/she shall participate in the LHCb financial review to represent the interests of the Collaboration. The Chairperson has no executive power. The Chairperson is not required to be resident at CERN. The Chairperson receives nomination from, and is elected by, the CB. The Chairperson shall not be a detector Subsystem Coordinator. The appointment of the Chairperson of the CB is for a two year term with the possibility of re-election. Only one re-election is possible in normal circumstances. The appointment can be terminated at any time by at least a 2/3rd majority vote of all voting members of the CB. ..............
