<p>Dear Commission B2 members,</p>
<p>As you may have seen, the IAU is calling for nominations to
stand for elections to the Commission and Division Organizing
Committees for 2021-2024. Our Commission B2 (Data and
Documentation) has four vacancies for the next 3-year term on
the OC. Both self-nomination and nominating a colleague are
possible. While every one is welcome, we particularly encourage
women and IAU members from currently under represented regions
such as South America, Africa and Asia.</p>
<p>I will step down as president of this commission and continue
to serve as an advisor for the next term. Our current
Vice-president, Chenzhou Cui, has agreed to serve as president
during the new term. The position of vice-president is therefore
open and nominations are welcome.</p>
<p>Here is the link to the candidate application form for the
Commission elections (IAU login first):</p>
<p><a href="https://www.iau.org/submissions/commission_candidacy/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.iau.org/submissions/commission_candidacy/</a>
</p>
<p>If you do not wish to stand for election yourself but know of a
possible candidate amongst your colleagues, please let me know
so that I can encourage that person to apply. The deadline for
candidate applications is 8 March 2021.</p>
<p>With best regards <br>
Anja Schroeder</p>
