Hi all Infrastructure Interest Group members,
It is the time of year to start filling openings in NDSA leadership for
the coming year and beyond. You likely saw Nathan's email about
nominations for the Coordinating Committee (see below). Eric and I
encourage you to consider nominating a colleague, or yourself, to take
advantage of the opportunity to participate at a strategic level in NDSA.
We will also have a leadership opportunity within the interest group,
and will talk more about that at our next meeting on Monday (8/16). And
speaking of the next meeting, the topic will be characterization, and
Eric will be talking about a past project to explore different
characterization utilities for use with the repository at the California
Digital Library.

*Subject:* Call for Nominations to the NDSA Coordinating Committee
Dear NDSA Stewards,
NDSA will be electing three members to its Coordinating Committee
<https://ndsa.org/about/leadership/>(CC) this year, with terms starting
in January 2022. CC members serve a three year term, participate in a
monthly call, and meet at the annual Digital Preservation Conference
<https://ndsa.org/conference/>. The Coordinating Committee provides
strategic leadership to the organization in coordination with group
co-chairs. NDSA is a diverse community with a critical mission, and we
seek candidates to join the CC that bring a variety of cultures and
orientations, skills, perspectives and experiences, to bear on
leadership initiatives. Working on the CC is an opportunity to
contribute your leadership for the community as a whole, while
collaborating with a wonderful group of dynamic and motivated
professionals.
If you are interested in joining the NDSA Coordinating Committee (CC) or
want to nominate another member, please complete the nomination form
<https://forms.gle/Zzvk9z5aZAbiS88Y6>by *11:59pm EDT Friday, August 13,
2021*, which asks for the name, e-mail address, brief bio/candidate
statement (nominee-approved), and NDSA-affiliated institution of the
nominee. We particularly encourage and welcome nominations of people
from underrepresented groups and sectors.
As members of the NDSA, we join together to form a consortium of more
than 260 partnering organizations, including businesses, government
agencies, nonprofit organizations, professional associations and
universities, all engaged in the long-term preservation of digital
information. Committed to preserving access to our national digital
heritage, we each offer our diverse skills, perspectives, experiences,
cultures and orientations to achieve what we could not do alone.
The CC is dedicated to ensuring a strategic direction for NDSA, to the
advancement of NDSA activities to achieve community goals, and to
further communication among digital preservation professionals and NDSA
member organizations. The CC is responsible for reviewing and approving
NDSA membership applications and publications; updating eligibility
standards for membership in the alliance, and other strategic documents;
engaging with stakeholders in the community; and working to enroll new
members committed to our core mission. More information about the duties
and responsibilities of CC members can be found at the NDSA’s Leadership
Page <https://ndsa.org/about/leadership/>.
We hope you will give this opportunity serious consideration and we
value your continued contributions and leadership in our community.

Thank you,
Nathan Tallman, Vice Chair
On behalf of the NDSA Coordinating Committee
