Want to create a new SIG?

The newly forming SIG should submit to the secretary a document with:

1. SIG Name

2. SIG Aims and Objectives, and some idea of what plans the SIG has for the upcoming year (the plans do not need to be detailed, just a general idea, but clear aims would be very much appreciated).

3. Name(s) of lead(s)

4. List of founding members

Here we are looking for a sign that there is a broad desire for this SIG, so a good number of people, preferably from a mix of countries.

The executive would then review and come back with a response. If there is time between getting the document and the following executive meeting, and there are questions or suggested amendments we may write back before to seek clarification/improvement.

Expectations from the SIG

Responding to annual report to show they are active and that they have a lead who is contactable.
