4. Election of Committee Members

The terms of office of two of the committee members, Richard Ellis and Jixin Ma were due to come to an end at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM. There was already one committee vacancy, so there were three posts to fill by election.

By the close of nominations, the following nominations had been received.

Name Proposer Seconder
Richard Ellis Prof. Max Bramer Rosemary Gilligan
Jixin Ma Prof. Max Bramer Rosemary Gilligan

As there were two candidates for three vacancies no election was necessary and the Chair declared that Richard Ellis and Jixin Ma had been elected for 3 years beginning at the close of the 2021 AGM. That left one vacancy which would be filled at the 2022 AGM.
