Dear Colleagues,
The Chair Election of OISTAT Education commission will be held at Education commission annual meeting on October 21-22, 2016 in Sevilla, Spain. The Call for candidates is now open. OISTAT Centres and Individual Members are encouraged to send nominations to Headquarters at headquarters@oistat.org no later than July 31, 2016.
OISTAT Education commission exists to facilitate international dialogue in the field of scenography, design for performance and theatre technology education and to foster quality, innovation and mobility. We would like to thank the current Chair Ian Evans for his achievement and commitment that opened up various possibilities for OISTAT Education.
The Candidate nominations from OISTAT Centres should include a letter from the Centre, the candidate’s CV and the candidate’s statement of intent. Nominations of Individual Members should include a letter of nomination from a peer OISTAT member, the candidate’s CV and the candidate’s statement of intent.
The Chair of OISTAT Education is the member of OISTAT Governing Board (GB). Governing Board members shall work under the auspices of the Congress and not as representatives of their OISTAT Centres and shall meet with Executive Committee at least once a year, not including its meeting at the Congress. The Chair of OISTAT Education shall also organize commission meetings at least once a year to discuss projects, commission affairs and collaborations with other commissions.
Guidelines for election of Chairs of Commissions can be found in OISTAT Statutes-Appendix 2,

8. The candidate who has the highest number of votes cast, provided that these are more than half of the votes cast, will become Chair.
9. If such a result is not obtained during the first election, then a second election will be held between the two candidates with the highest number of votes. If two candidates have equally received the second highest number of votes, then an election shall first be held between these two candidates.
10. If there is an even number of voting delegates for an election, in order to prevent a tie vote, an attending member from the EC will also cast a vote.
