Subject: elections for a new IDS Analysis Coordinator / proposals before

Dear colleagues,

Martine Feissel-Vernier sent a DORISMail (402) in september to announce she
would leave the function of IDS Analysis Coordinator at the end of October
2005.

On behalf of the IDS Governing Board and Central Bureau, I would like to
thank her very much for her major contribution to the creation and start of
IDS and to wish her all the best for her new and quieter life.

According to the IDS Terms of Reference
(http://ids.cls.fr/html/organization/tor.html
) we are now looking for a
new Analysis Coordinator for the end of her term (2006 to mid 2007). The
functions of the IDS Analysis Coordinator are defined in details in our
Terms of Reference
The Analysis Coordinator assists the Analysis Centers. The Analysis
Coordinator monitors the Analysis Centers activities to ensure that the IDS
objectives are carried out.
Specific expectations include quality control, performance evaluation, and
continued development of appropriate analysis standards. The Analysis
Coordinator, with the assistance of the Central Bureau, is also responsible
for the appropriate combination of the Analysis Centers products into a
single set of products.

Through the existing reciprocity agreement between IDS and IERS, the
Analysis Coordinator serves as the DORIS Technique Center representative
for IERS, and as such, subject to Governing Board approval, is a member of
the IERS Directing Board (together with another person selected by the IDS
Governing Board). In turn, the IERS Directing Board designates a
representative to the IDS Governing Board. This arrangement ensures full
cooperation between the two services.

The Central Bureau will help the future Analysis Coordinator by performing
the operational tasks (combination of individual Analysis Center
results,...), as described also in the Terms of Reference.
The CB supports the Analysis Coordinator in combining the various Analysis
Centers products and providing him with all information necessary to
validate the final combined products. The new IDS Analysis Coordinator will
be elected by email directly by the Governing Board.
The Central Bureau will gather a list of possible candidates to this
function before January 6.

If you are interested to become the next IDS Analysis Coordinator or want
to suggest possible names for this position, please contact me before this
deadline.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Laurent Soudarin
IDS Central Bureau


NB: the future Analysis Coordinator will serve until the end of Martine´s
term but can be reelected for a full term after mid 2007.
