Re: [PBG] Publishing Business Group chairs change

Hello Publishing Business Group members,

About PBG co-chairs, allow me to inform you the co-chairs are considering a transition period where I would stay co-chair to help Cristina, also co-chair now, to be on-board.
This period would finish at the end March, at the date of my retirement.

The PBG charter seems to allow for such a process as it states :

“This group chooses their Chair(s) and can replace the Chair(s) at any time using whatever means they prefer.”

Hoping you don’t see any objection, we would like to proceed this way.

Best,
Luc Audrain

Hello Publishing Business Group members,

No other candidacy for co-chairing was received from Publishing Business Group members during last week.

So as stated in last PBG call and explained in the mail below, we have a new co-chair elected : Cristina Mussinelli.

Congratulations Cristina !

We are happy to keep an international representation from three different regions of the world !

On behalf of PBG co-chairs,
Luc Audrain

Objet : [PBG] Publishing Business Group chairs change, candidacy open for a week

Hello Publishing Business Group members,
Co-chair Luc Audrain is retiring end of March 2020.
As PBG co-chairs, we feel important that the European geographic area is still represented among the chairs.
Then we are very happy to present to you the candidacy of Cristina Mussinelli, Secretary General Fondazione LIA and consultant for digital publishing for AIE (Associazione Italiana Editori).
Cristina is ok to take the position if members of the Publishing Business Group agree.
But candidacy is open to any member of the group who would raise an interest to take the role.
If you would like to discuss what kind of effort it is to co-chair, please reach out to Liisa, Daihei or myself and we’d be happy to discuss.
Per resolution in last PBG call (see minutes[1]), with this mail starts a week period for any other candidacy.
If there is no other candidacy at the end of the period, Wednesday 12th, 18:00 UTC, the group will consider Cristina elected.
On behalf of PBG co-chairs,
Luc Audrain
