Subject:    Announcing the Nominating Committee's Slate of
            Nominees and Information on Petitioning to add
            Candidates.

    The Annual Meeting of the CREN Membership by Proxy is schedule
to be held on Wednesday, January 12, 1994.  At this meeting
(proxy count), four Trustees will be elected to succeed those
whose terms have expired:  Miriam Drake, Benjamin Klein, Geraldine
MacDonald, and Martin Solomon.

    According to the CREN Bylaws (Sec. 5.4.2), the Nominating Committee
shall accept petitions from the Member Representatives for candidates for
Trustee.  Any candidate for whom petitions are received from at least 5%
of the CREN members will be added to those on the Nominating Committee's
slate (below) for the election.

    Since the Nominating Committee must publish a list of nominees,
including candidates nominated by petition at least one month before the
Annual Meeting, it is imperative that Petitions of Nomination from CREN
Member Representatives be submitted no later than Noon, Wednesday,
December 1, 1993.

    For an individual to be added to the Slate of Nominees, petitions
must be received from at least 5% of CREN Member Representatives (a total
of 28 petitions).  To be nominated, an individual must be employed by a
CREN Member.

    Petitions of Nomination should be submitted electronically to
NOMINATE@BITNIC (nominate@bitnic.educom.edu) to be considered.
Please submit the petition in the following format: list your full
name, title, name of your organization, name of person being
nominated and short statement of support.
