Presented here are the names of candidates for election to the Executive Board nominated by the Nomination Committee, together with their statements about themselves and their potential contributions as Board members. The names were selected from proposals made by National Committees, individual members (two from different countries for each proposal), and the Executive Board. There was a very strong response to the invitation for proposals published in the October 2012 Bulletin. The Nomination Committee considers that there is a good representation among the candidates for regions, specialisations, and experience.

This is the first time voting will be conducted electronically (by e-mail). There will also be an opportunity to vote manually in the first few days of the World Conference in Shanghai, before the General Assembly when the results of the election will be announced.

The deadline for voting by e-mail is 30 June 2013

Voting Procedure

All members are urged to participate in the election. Voters must be financial members of ICTM in 2013. Please renew your membership for 2013 before you vote if you have not already done so.

Your votes should be sent in a 
single e-mail message to elections2013@ictmusic.org.

Please include your name in the e-mail so that it can be checked against the list of financial members. Your name will be deleted from the ballot before the votes are counted.

Ordinary Members of the Executive Board are elected for a term lasting until the third Ordinary Meeting of the General Assembly after their term has begun (typically 6 years), and are eligible for re-election only once.
