Dear SBML community,
This is a call for nominations for two new SBML Editors to replace outgoing editors, Lucian Smith and Rahuman Sheriff, beginning in January 2022. Here is the nominations entry page:
https://forms.gle/aNzER6bzj5NWM6jx7
The nomination deadline is Sunday December 20th 2021, at midnight (PST).
The SBML Editor election process is described on the following page: http://sbml.org/Documents/SBML_Development_Process/Election_of_SBML_Editors
The SBML Editors play a key role in writing and developing SBML specifications. SBML Editors have to be willing to invest time and effort into evaluating proposals for changes, researching the possible impact of those changes, thinking about how to implement the changes, writing new text in the SBML specification, dealing with practical matters of writing, editing, coordinating, tracking changes to documents, etc. The work level tends to be highly uneven and unpredictable, but on average it is not overwhelming.
The length an SBML Editor's term is 3 years. The current SBML Editors are (in alphabetical order) Frank Bergmann, Matthias König, Brett G. Olivier, Lucian P. Smith, and Rahuman Sheriff, with Lucian P. Smith and Rahuman Sheriff being replaced in 2022.
This is the nomination phase of the SBML Editor search. You may nominate anyone (including yourself) that you believe is qualified and would act as a good SBML Editor. Someone who has in the past served as Editor can be elected again unless they have served two consecutive terms; in which case there must be at least 1 year since they stopped. You may describe your rationale in the voting form. You may fill out this form more than once, for nominating multiple individuals. (Two people will be selected, and some nominees might not accept, so nominating more than one is perfectly reasonable.) The SBML Editors will gather the results and create a single list of all unique candidates along with the rationales for their nominations, then verify with each individual that they accept the nomination, and finally issue a call for voting.
