CANDIDATE SLATE FOR 2002 DPS ELECTION
The Nominating Subcommittee, chaired by Alex Storrs, has prepared the

following slate of officers for the next election:
Vice-Chair:  William Cochran (University of Texas)

             Darrell Strobel (Johns Hopkins University)
Committee:   Randy Gladstone (SWRI, San Antonio)

             Joe Harrington (Cornell University)

             Ann Sprague (University of Arizona)

             Alan Stern (SWRI, Boulder)
The bylaws provide for the possibility to add candidates by petition.

If you wish to nominate a candidate, I must receive a petition, signed

by at least 20 DPS members (regular or affiliate, but not junior),

along with a statement from the candidate expressing willingness to

serve if elected, by July 29, 2002.  Ballots, including candidate

biographies and position statements, will be mailed in August. The

deadline for receiving ballots back will be September 13th.
Please note that because the Nominating Subcommittee was not able to

complete the slate until June 27, 2002, the schedule for the election

outlined in Article III Section 6 of the DPS bylaws cannot be met. In

accordance with bylaws Article VIII Section 4, the DPS Committee has

therefore voted to temporarily suspend the bylaws in order to enable a

valid election.
