The CGM Open (CGMO) Member Section (MS) is currently seeking to fill two
seats on the Steering Committee (StC). One seat will serve a one year
term due to a vacancy, and the other seat will serve the customary two
year term. The CGMO Member Section Steering Committee consists of three
seats, two of which are elected and third of which is allocated to the
CGMO Program Director. The nominee receiving the most votes will serve a
two-year term on the StC and the second nominee will serve a one year
term.

are defined collectively by two documents, the OASIS Member Section
