Annual General Meeting 2014 Hi everyone! Comprising the Annual Report from the 31st Exco, and of course, the elections for the 32nd Exco, this meeting is crucial to the future of ICSS as we decide who will take on the roles of leadership and responsibility within the society for the next year-long term. All members are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting! *The agenda can be found** here <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/49hgj-1ez6m-2ccllzg8fu?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.groupspaces.com%2Ficss%2Ffiles%2F1018004%2FMH_7GsEEnWCXSSmKHwzs%2FAGENDA%2BFOR%2BANNUAL%2BGENERAL%2BMEETING.pdf%3Futm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup%26utm_term%3Dgroup-1361>*. If there are any additional matter you wish to discuss at the meeting, please email Siming at secretary@ic-singsoc.net by Friday, 28th February so that it can be added into the agenda. The meeting details are as follows: *Date: *5th March (Wednesday) *Time: *12:30pm onwards *Venue: *Physics LT2 * Rough Programme: *Registration and lunch will commence at 12:30pm, followed by the presentation and elections. Dinner will be at 6:30pm, and elections will continue until all positions are filled. Note that *only ICSS members can attend* this meeting, and that free *lunch and dinner will be provided* for those who register with us online. *Sign up **here <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/49hgj-1ez6m-2ccllzg8fu?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fa%2Fic-singsoc.net%2Fforms%2Fd%2F1V8U2W7a4Klb2tc97SZKMOvFvU5TyYi2czAH_8o-1tDE%2Fviewform> by Monday, 3rd March* to secure your meals! *Nominations and submission of manifestos are now open*! For those considering running for a position, or want to nominate a friend you think is suitable, please read the following carefully: *Candidacy Eligibility Criteria* To run for office, you must be a full member of the ICSS. Other than that, there is no restriction on year of study, except that you must not be graduating or leaving Imperial at the end of the academic year, as you should complete a year-long term. *Nomination Criteria * Once again, only members can nominate people to run for office. Moreover, *self-nominations are not allowed*. Plus, if you are running for a position, you cannot nominate someone for that same position. Finally, note that the *nominator must be present at the elections*, and *each nomination needs to be seconded* at the election itself by at least 2 full members *who are similarly not running for that same position*. Now that all the restrictions are clearly stated above, how does one go about running for the Exco or nominating someone? *To Nominate Someone* Simply send an email to agm2014@ic-singsoc.net <agm2013@ic-singsoc.net> with the following details: 1. Your CID number (i.e. CID no. of nominator) 2. Your name 3. Your contact no. 4. Your email address 5. Name of nominee 6. Contact no. of nominee 7. Email address of nominee 8. Position that you wish the nominee to run for Once the nomination has been received by us, we will contact the nominee to get his/her agreement, before *publishing the names of both the nominator and the nominee* onto our website. Note that there *can be nominations at the elections* itself, similarly requiring at least 2 seconders. *To Run for Office* Firstly, if you wish to find out more about the various Exco positions, you may approach any of the current Exco for more information. Alternatively, you can refer to our constitution<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/49hgj-1ez6m-2ccllzg8fu?u=http%3A%2F%2Fe.groupspaces.com%2Fclick%2F2xdec-1ez6m-1bmcg8sa8t%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.union.ic.ac.uk%252Fosc%252Fsingapore%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2011%252F03%252FConstitution.pdf%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup%26utm_term%3Dgroup-1361> . Secondly, it is highly recommended that all candidates who wish to run for office *submit a manifesto* that we will publish on our website within 48hrs of us acknowledging receipt. This is so that members can find out more about what you candidates are like and what you stand for. Manifestos should be submitted to agm2014@ic-singsoc.net <agm2013@ic-singsoc.net> *by 3rd March 2359 hrs*. This will allow us enough time to have them printed for those at the AGM. The manifestos must contain the following: 1. Your name 2. The position you are running for 3. Your picture There will be no restrictions on page length. As a guide, your manifesto is a personal statement that explains why you are will be suitable for the position. However, *submission of a manifesto does not guarantee a nomination*, and a nomination will still be required as explained above. More information to come! Good luck to all interested candidates and see you all at AGM! Regards, The 31st Exco ------------------------------ 3.
