Interest Segment Representative Nominations

Primary and Alternate Interest Segment representatives will serve two-year terms and must be willing to meet the commitments and the responsibilities of serving on the ACTA, including time and travel. They will be eligible for a second term if elected. The Council meets face-to-face approximately twice a year, with 2 additional virtual meetings.

The nominee’s employer must send a written confirmation to the ACTA Secretariat indicating support of the nomination and understanding of ACTA commitments.

Voting for segment representatives will be completed electronically by voting members of that segment. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be designated the Primary representatives for that segment, and the candidate receiving the third highest number of votes will be designated the Alternate. The Alternate only votes when standing in for a Primary representative.

To nominate an individual, please send the following to the ACTA Secretariat:

• A summary of the nominee’s qualifications (i.e., technical or standards background relative to Part 68 and the work of ACTA) for consideration by other voting members of the segment.
• The nominee's full contact information, including telephone number and email address.
• The Interest Segment to be represented.

Run-off elections for Interest segment representatives will be conducted if necessary.

Chair Nominations

The ACTA chair will not have voting rights, must not be an advocate for any segment and must have a demonstrated record of being able to organize, conduct and control meetings of individuals with varying points of view in a fair and unbiased manner. The chair will serve a two-year term and must be willing to meet the commitments and the responsibilities of serving on the ACTA.

The chair of the Administrative Council will be chosen by a plurality vote of the Council’s interest segment representatives at the Executive ACTA meeting, and will assume office immediately following that meeting.

Should the chair have also been chosen as an interest segment representative (or alternate), the chair will maintain segment voting rights for the balance of the Executive meeting. That interest segment will then have another electronic ballot to fill the vacant segment alternate position.

The nominee’s employer must also send a written confirmation to the ACTA Secretariat indicating support of the nomination and understanding of ACTA commitments.

To nominate an individual to serve as Chair of the ACTA, please send the following to the ACTA Secretariat:

• The nominee’s full contact information, including telephone number and email address.
