ACTA ELECTION INFORMATION
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,

as well as technical or standards background relative
to Part 68 and the work of the ACTA) for consideration
