The CCC reserves the right to modify the schedule in case of necessity, in particular due to the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.
We have been planning an in-person board meeting to provide an opportunity for outgoing and incoming members to meet in the week of 8 June in Vienna. Due to the restrictions in international travel and the current ban of meetings in Austria, we continue to monitor the situation and will decide on the meeting in the coming weeks, as it becomes clear how long the restrictions will be in place.

Nomination procedure
Candidates may be self-nominated or nominated by other Members, with the agreement of the nominated candidate. Candidates can only be accepted for the category in which they are members (according to region, organisation/individual membership).
To (self-)nominate for a seat, the completed candidacy form must be submitted.
Only ordinary members are eligible to vote in Coalition elections, and only ordinary members will receive electronic ballots.
Once all nominations have been received, the Vienna Hub team, on behalf of the Coordination Committee, will prepare a ballot paper on an online voting platform. The election system will be an online and anonymous voting system – presumably Election Buddy, which we have used successfully in the past four years of elections.
Should you have any questions about the election process, or in case you are a member and have not received email notifications about the election, please do not hesitate to contact the Vienna Hub team at email hidden; JavaScript is required.
