Lucy Ofiesh – 2023 September 27

In BoardMember BriefingGovernanceElectionsMeetingsAnnual Meeting

I’m pleased to share the 2023 board election slate. Crossref’s Nominating Committee received 87 submissions from members worldwide to fill seven open board seats.

We maintain a balance of eight large member seats and eight small member seats. A member’s size is determined based on the membership fee tier they pay. We look at how our total revenue is generated across the membership tiers and split it down the middle. Like last year, about half of our revenue came from members in the tiers $0 - $1,650, and the other half came from members in tiers $3,900 - $50,000. We have two large member seats and five small member seats open for election in 2023.

The Nominating Committee presents the following slate.

The 2023 slate

Tier 1 candidates (electing five seats):

• Beilstein-Institut, Wendy Patterson
• Korean Council of Science Editors, Kihong Kim
• Lujosh Ventures Limited, Olu Joshua
• NISC Ltd, Mike Schramm
• OpenEdition, Marin Dacos
• Universidad Autónoma de Chile, Dr. Ivan Suazo
• Vilnius University, Vincas Grigas

Tier 2 candidates (electing two seats):

• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Scott Delman
• Oxford University Press, James Phillpotts
• Public Library of Science (PLOS), Dan Shanahan
• University of Chicago Press, Ashley Towne
