OverviewEach year the membership of the International Informix Users Group elects its Board of Directors. The election usually runs over several weeks at the end of the year. Anyone who became an IIUG member at least a month prior to the election is eligible to vote via online ballot at www.IIUG.org. The new Board of Directors is installed at the IIUG General Meeting. In 2010, the IIUG General Meeting will take place during the IIUG Informix Conference in Kansas. The election is a democratic process whereby the candidates who get the most votes and confirm their interest to serve in a timely manner after being contacted with the results will be confirmed as elected. To avoid potential conflicts of interest, votes are automatically tallied and manually validated by members of the IIUG Nominating Committee who are not standing for election. The IIUG Board of Directors election is overseen by a Nominating Committee that supervises both the nomination process and the election. The members of Nominating Committee are appointed by the current Board of Directors. 2010 Election Timeline
Notes to the above.
