Call for Election Statements for the ACP Executive Committee

[Tias Guns]

Dear Constraints Community,

We invite election statements from candidates for the Executive Committee (EC) of the Association for Constraint Programming (ACP). 

The Executive Committee of the ACP determines the venue and chairs for the annual CP international conference. It also organizes and supports activities such as the ACP summer school, CP doctoral program, ACP quarterly reports and website, and manages the surplus from CP conferences, reinvesting it into the CP research community.

The election statement should contain a motivation of why you want to join the EC, and what EC activities and focus points (existing or new) you would like to contribute to. Election statement will be posted on the ACP election site. Candidates must be registered ACP members (registered on http://a4cp.org). 

Please submit your election statements to the current ACP EC at acp...@googlegroups.com by July 7, 2024.

For more details on the election procedure and rules, refer to Bylaw 5 of the ACP Bylaws at https://www.a4cp.org/about/bylaws. EC members serve a four-year term, and the following will complete their term by the end of 2024: David Bergman, Tias Guns, Zeynep Kiziltan, Chris Beck. Therefore, we shall run an election for four members to a four-year term. Elections will take place electronically in August, 2024. The results will be communicated to the ACP members before CP 2024. The Election Committee consists of David Bergman, Chris Beck and Tias Guns (Chair).

We look forward to receiving your election statements,

Tias Guns, Secretary of the ACP EC
