appendix to the letter from the CODATA President); and approval of proposed
composition of the Nominating Committee.

These matters for voting will be handled via an online voting platform
Election Runner ahead of the virtual General Assembly. Delegates to the
virtual General Assembly received detailed information on the matters for
voting and an invitation to cast their votes electronically.

The second purpose of the virtual General Assembly will be to provide an
