Updates Hi everyone, For those who went to Dover today, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves! Same for those who attended the recently concluded "Who Boleh". Well at least I did. Find out who are winners for the various components below. The final event in our calendar is none other than our Annual General Meeting, happening *this Wednesday, 27th February*. This is arguably one of our most significant events, because no matter how many important events may have already taken place throughout the year, this is the one which determines the direction and nature of these events, and ultimately also the direction and nature of the society itself. I strongly urge all members to come down, make your voices heard and claim your stake in the society by exercising your member rights. To better prepare yourself for what will be happening, please take a look at the updated agenda. Also, sign up now! For the deadline for registration (including the free meals) is tomorrow, *24th February, Sunday*. In addition, for those who are willing to take on the responsibility of managing the society, please take note that you will be required to make a short speech about yourself, why you are running, what you can bring to the society, and why you think you are suitable for this job. Of course, these are just guidelines, but it will help voters (especially those who do not know you), to make a better decision. To help you prepare, the speech durations have been given below, subject to change on the day itself. For further updates, please refer to our website and our Facebook page, with links below. Please remember that, as above, the deadline for manifesto submission is tomorrow, *24th February, Sunday*! If you are still considering, know that the best you can do is to go for it and let the society decide, and that the worst-case situation is that the society loses a capable potential candidate. If you truly have the society's interests at heart, please, it is time to step forward. Finally, in the careers section, the SIA deadline has been extended to *26th February, Tuesday*. Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1. ICSS Annual General Meeting 2013 <#13d07e6ce9e1814a_item1> 2. Who Boleh? <#13d07e6ce9e1814a_item2> 3.

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 full 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 agm2013@ic-singsoc.net with the following details: 1. Your membership number (i.e. membership 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 email any of the current Exco for more information: President: Ashley Ng – president@ic-singsoc.et Vice-president: Bennett Tan – vicepresident@ic-singsoc.net Secretary: Gabriel Quek – secretary@ic-singsoc.net Treasurer: Ng Zhen Yi – treasurer@ic-singsoc.net Major Event Officer: Phua Hsuan Te – majorevent@ic-singsoc.net Events Officer 1: Lee Ting Wei – eventsofficer1@ic-singsoc.net Events Officer 2: Tan Qian Wen – eventsofficer2@ic-singsoc.net Sports Officer: Teo Kai Qin – sportsofficer@ic-singsoc.net Liaisons Officer: Loy Xing Kai – liaisonsofficer@ic-singsoc.net Alternatively, you can refer to our constitution<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2ybxr-1ez6m-17rta6izpj?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.union.ic.ac.uk%2Fosc%2Fsingapore%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F03%2FConstitution.pdf> . 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 agm2013@ic-singsoc.net *by 24th Feb 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. Thirdly, all candidates who are running will be required to give a short speech at the elections. Those running for the positions of President and Vice-President should prepare to speak for *5 minutes*, and the rest should prepare for a *3 minute* speech. However, these *timings are subject to change* on the day itself depending on time considerations. More information to come! Good luck to all interested candidates and see you all at AGM!
