IHB File No. S3/2641/A CIRCULAR LETTER 80/2015 25 November 2015 GEBCO SUB-COMMITTEE ON UNDERSEA FEATURE NAMES (SCUFN) VACANCY FOR AN IHO REPRESENTATIVE – EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS Reference: IHO Circular Letter 59/2015 dated 19 August - GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (SCUFN) - Vacancy for an IHO Representative Dear Hydrographer, 1. The Reference invited Member States to consider nominating suitable experts to fill a position that has become vacant on the GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (SCUFN). 2. The IHB has received only a very limited number of nominations to fill the vacancy. In consultation with the Chair of SCUFN, Dr Hans Werner SCHENKE, the IHB Directing Committee has decided to extend the deadline for nominations with the intention of obtaining a wider range of candidates from which the selection will be made to fill the vacancy. 3. Member States that have not responded to the Reference are therefore invited to reconsider identifying and nominating suitable national experts to fill the vacancy, by completing the Nomination Form in Annex A and returning it to the IHB by 31 December 2015. 4. As is the case in a number of other inter-organizational bodies in which the IHO participates, it is not a requirement that the IHO representative is employed by or reports to the national Hydrographic Service, rather it is important that the representative is available to undertake the work involved and can provide the required level of technical expertise and the breadth of view required. Some, but not all, of the costs of travel involved in attending meetings may be reimbursed, depending on the funds available at the time. On behalf of the Directing Committee Yours sincerely, Mustafa IPTES Director Annex A: Nomination Form  Annex A to IHO CL 80/2015 IHB File N° S3/2641/A GEBCO SUB-COMMITTEE ON UNDERSEA FEATURE NAMES (SCUFN) NOMINATION FORM (to be returned to the IHB [email protected] by 31 December 2015) Note: The boxes will expand as you type your answers Member State YES or NO?
