The Open Repositories Steering Committee (ORSC) is pleased to announce that we are opening nominations for standing members to join the OR Steering Committee.



ORSC manages the annual Open Repositories conference and consists of a maximum of 12 standing members (who serve three-year terms) as well as the chairs of the host and program committees for the annual conferences. We have three open slots for standing members, and we are inviting nominations, including self-nominations. The nomination deadline is July 24th 2020.



The nomination form is available here: https://forms.gle/F6hQhd6wM7kjf7QbA<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FF6hQhd6wM7kjf7QbA&data=02%7C01%7C%7Caa0e6c3e180b45b20b7a08d819afbabc%7Ca6fa3b030a3c42588433a120dffcd348%7C0%7C0%7C637287589823737150&sdata=7bNrL1yHbh5rbpdg94XJyzuGo0cW7bLZkvD0LXivyC0%3D&reserved=0>



 Nominees should have participated in at least one previous OR conference, ideally have been a member of a program or host committee for an OR conference, and have extensive experience with repositories and the international repository community. Some type of experience with the Open Repositories conference is necessary to join the ORSC.



ORSC members are expected to take part in a range of activities throughout the year, as well as those specifically related to the conference. Examples of member activities include:



  *   Regular attendance at OR if at all possible. We note that for some potential members this can be difficult due to cost, travel, and schedules; the OR SC cannot provide funding for members to attend.
  *   Participating in the majority of the monthly committee meetings, including the in-person meeting that takes place at the conference every year.
  *   Participation in ad hoc or standing committees (e.g. Scholarship, Code of Conduct, Finance, etc.).
  *   Serving specific conference roles such as Program Chair or Poster Chair.
  *   Reflecting OR news and announcements (e.g. Calls for Papers, Expressions of Interest) via mailing lists and through social media.
  *   Timely participation in all discussions, in-person and online.
  *   Reviewing conference proposals and submissions.
  *   Reviewing conference host bids.
  *   Selecting new standing members for the ORSC.



We strongly recommend that potential nominees refer to the conference handbook for more information about the role of the ORSC: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/or11/Open+Repositories+Conference+Handbook<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.lyrasis.org%2Fdisplay%2For11%2FOpen%2BRepositories%2BConference%2BHandbook&data=02%7C01%7C%7Caa0e6c3e180b45b20b7a08d819afbabc%7Ca6fa3b030a3c42588433a120dffcd348%7C0%7C0%7C637287589823747141&sdata=D%2BQUVANSme9odXPTwtWtevH%2BQfI4cJ8IvW2OcYVA7ME%3D&reserved=0>.



When submitting a nomination (and self-nominations are welcome) you will be asked to submit the following information:



  1.  Personal information: name, email, institution affiliation, and a brief description of the nominee’s role.
  2.  An indication that your nominee has attended at least one OR in the previous four years.
  3.  Statement of interest, e.g. why the nominee wants to join the Steering Committee.
  4.  Statement of qualifications, e.g. what specific experiences the nominee would bring to the Steering Committee.



The OR Steering Committee will elect new members in August. Successful new members will be expected to join the ORSC in September for a three-year period.
