We are therefore seeking nominations for GBIF committee members. This year we have nine positions open. I invite all Heads of Delegation to nominate candidates for committee representation in accordance with the rules laid out in the attached documents. The closing date for nominations is 22 August 2025. An overview of the open positions can be found in the attached document ?Call for nominations for elections of GBIF officials at GB32?. Details of the nomination and voting process can be found in the attached document ?GB32 Voting rights and financial contributions?. Voting Participants in good financial standing may submit nominations for any of the nine positions. Associate Participants and Voting Participants not in good financial standing may submit nominations for a number of committee positions, as described the Call for nominations document. Nominations will also be required for renewal of existing officers if they are willing to serve for a second term. As GBIF is a global network, we encourage nominations from all regions and hope to have a regional and gender balanced representation in the GBIF committees.
