RE:      Elections for CREN Board of Trustees

   It's election time again for the CREN Board of Trustees!  We know that
it seems pretty early, but we expect to avoid the delays we encountered
in 1992. There are four positions open on the 12-member board, and the
three-year terms will begin January 1993.

   Anyone from a Member Institution may nominate candidates for a
Trustee position.  Please send your suggestions to the 1993 Nominating
Committee, NOMINATE@BITNIC (via BITNET) or Nominate@BITNIC.EDUCOM.edu
(via Internet).  The committee members are:

          Geraldine MacDonald, Chair      SUNY Binghamton
          Martin Solomon                  U of South Carolina
          Cliff Woodruff, Non-trustee     Tulane University


   Candidates must be employed by a Member Institution of CREN.
A listing of Member institutions, sorted by state, may be obtained
from LISTSERV.  Send your request to LISTSERV (via BITNET)
LISTSERV@BITNIC or (via Internet) LISTSERV@BITNIC.EDUCOM.edu
and request the document:

            STATE SITELIST

   Your nominations and ideas are critical in providing insightful
leadership to guide CREN in its networking future.  Forward all
suggestions to NOMINATE by August 30th.

Please follow the suggested guidelines when nominating a
candidate:

1.   Give the individual's name, title, department and institution.

2.   Include individual's e-mail address and telephone number.

3.   Specify in a short paragraph why you believe this person
        would be an asset to CREN and its membership.  Include
        any relative experience you may know of, if possible.

   Announcements and updates on the election process will be forwarded
via electronic mail to the Member Representative list and BITNEWS
The membership vote will be conducted via a postal mailing to the
Member Representatives sometime in November 1992.

     In order for a Member Institution to have a vote in the election,
there must be an offical appointment form on file naming the Member
Representative.  If the representative has changed, please note that
changes to the Nodes File "dir" tag are not recognized without
written notice from the CEO or other high ranking official of your
institution. The current listing of CREN Member Representatives
may be obtain from LISTSERV entitled MEMREP LISTINGS.  An
official appointment form is also available from LISTSERV
entitiled MEMREP FORM.

     If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Amanda Rushing at RUSHING@BITNIC or

   The CREN Board consists of 12 members, listed below.  The terms
