<br>
It is time to put out a call for new nominations (typically but not<br>
necessarily self-nominations) to the <a href="http://haskell.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">haskell.org</a> committee. We have<br>
four members of our committee due for retirement -- Adam Foltzer,<br>
Nicolas Wu, Andres Loeh, and Edward Kmett (who is stepping down<br>
early). As per our bylaws, three of the slots will be for regular<br>
three year terms, and one will be a short one year term to fill out<br>
the remainder of Edward's.<br>
<br>
To nominate yourself, please send an email to committee at <a href="http://haskell.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">haskell.org</a><br>
by December 2, 2016. The retiring members are eligible to re-nominate<br>
themselves. Please feel free to include any information about yourself<br>
that you think will help us to make a decision.<br>
<br>
The Haskell.org committee serves as a board of directors for<br>
Haskell.org, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which oversees technical and<br>
financial resources related to Haskell community infrastructure.<br>
<br>
Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a<br>
significant amount of time, but committee members should aim to be<br>
responsive during discussions when the committee is called upon to<br>
make a decision. Strong leadership, communication, and judgement are<br>
very important characteristics for committee members. The role is<br>
about setting policy, providing direction/guidance for Haskell.org<br>
infrastructure, planning for the long term, and being fiscally<br>
responsible with the Haskell.org funds (and donations). As overseers<br>
for policy regarding the open source side of Haskell, committee<br>
members must also be able to set aside personal or business related<br>
bias and make decisions with the good of the open source Haskell<br>
community in mind.<br>
<br>
We seek a broad representation from different segments of the Haskell<br>
world -- including but not limited to those focused on education,<br>
those focused on industrial applications, those with background in<br>
organizing users-groups, and those focused directly on our technical<br>
infrastructure.<br>
<br>

<br>
If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to<br>
e-mail us at committee at <a href="http://haskell.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">haskell.org</a>, or contact one of us<br>
individually.<br>
