Dear SBML community,
This is a call for nominations for a new SBML Editor to replace the outgoing editor, Matthias König, beginning in January 2024. Here is the nominations entry page:
https://forms.gle/t6LMN53bUNPvKNNU7
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 of an SBML Editor's term is 3 years. The current SBML Editors are (in chronological order) Matthias König (to be replaced), Sarah M. Keating (through 2024), Rahuman Sheriff (through 2024), Lucian Smith (through 2025), and Marek Ostaszewski (through 2025).
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. 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.
This nomination phase will close at midnight (PDT), December 31st, 2023. After the nomination phase, we will issue a call for voting.
