i) Latin America and the Caribbean; ii) South and Southeast Asia and the Pacific; iii) Africa; iv) Middle East/North Africa; v) developing Eurasia and/or North-South. The designation ‘North-South” refers to scholars working on issues linking North America and Europe with the global south.

ARTICLE VI: NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS
The Executive Committee serves
as the nominating committee for committees other than itself. For membership of
the Executive Committee, a nominating committee composed of three to
five members of the Global South Caucus chosen by the Chair shall nominate
candidates. Self-nominations are encouraged. The
Chair and Vice Chair may also submit their own nominations to the committee.
The Vice Chair is eligible to
serve as Chair as is any member who is deemed to have played a sufficiently
active role in the caucus.
Candidates nominated should meet the required criteria of
geographic and disciplinary diversity. The committee should take into account
the contributions of nominees to the Caucus and the ISA.
Bios of prospective candidates shall be e-mailed to members
before the annual election (which normally coincides with the annual business
meeting) or before any by-election. Ballots
shall be returned by e-mail within a specified period of time. New officers
shall normally be presented to the
membership at the annual meeting.
In extraordinary circumstances, elections may take place no more than thirty
(30) days after the annual meeting. In such a case, the terms of members of the
EXCOM will expire with new elections rather than at the annual meeting. Thank you,
jbw
