Dear All,
The joint ISCA-ELRA Special Interest Group on Under-resourced Languages (SIGUL) has been created earlier in 2017. SIGUL intends to bring together a number of professionals involved in the development of language resources and technologies for under-resourced languages (see more on http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/sigs?layout=edit&id=198 http://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/sigs?layout=edit&id=198).
You are receiving this e-mail because you have been involved in pre-SIGUL events (SLTU, CCURL, others) and your email address has been put on the sigul@list.elra.info mailto:sigul@list.elra.info mailing-list, which contains approximately 300 members. This newly created mailing-list will work as a newsletter service, which means only moderators can post to it. Subscriptions are subject to prior approval, and the subscribers list is private (the archives will be public).
A provisional board was created to cope with the coming events organized by the SIG (current board persons are: Claudia Soria, Laurent Besacier and Sakriani Sakti). However, to respect ISCA by-laws on SIGs, it is now time to organize elections for the board. According to the ISCA website, the elected members of the SIG shall consist of a chairperson, a co-chair and a secretary (see board duties in the Appendix below). All elected officers shall be members in good standing with the SIGUL organization and parent organizations (ELRA and ISCA). The term of all elected board members of the SIG shall be 2 years. They may be re-elected but consecutive appointments are limited to four consecutive terms.
The SIGUL election will follow the schedule below.
Call for candidates (from now to December 7th) : if you want to be a candidate, please send a message to choukri@elda.org mailto:choukri@elda.org before Dec 7th with a short bio and a statement/manifesto that explains why you want to be an elected member of SIGUL board
Electronic Voting (between December 7th and December 21st) : a specific email will be sent with explanations on how to vote and information on the candidates (you will be allowed to vote for 3 candidates maximum, since there are 3 slots in the board).
-After December 21st : announcement of results
We hope you will take an active part to this election and we are looking forward to see you during coming SIGUL events (CCURL during LREC 2018 and SLTU as a satellite workshop of Interspeech 2018). see http://www.ilc.cnr.it/en/content/ccurl-2018 http://www.ilc.cnr.it/en/content/ccurl-2018 and http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu2018/ http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu2018/

Khalid Choukri, in charge of supervising these elections for the SIGUL commitee

Hi,
I made minor proposals for modification (see ***...***).
As I mentioned in a previous email, I would like to also see the mention of the L&TC LRL workshops that we organized since 2009 every second year (see below), in the text as well as in the SIGUL descripton on the ISCA website (it seems to be OK now on the ELRA one) and I will also send some missing names to add to the list.
Questions:
in good standing with the SIGUL organization and parent organizations (ELRA and ISCA)
What does it mean ? Does it mean that they should be member of ELRA and ISCA, or of ELRA or ISCA ?
The term of all elected board members of the SIG shall be 2 years. They may be re-elected but consecutive appointments are limited to four consecutive terms.
Does it mean that an officer may stay for (4*2=) 8 years ?
All the best,
Joseph
