2006 Users’ Advisory Committee (UAC) Election

The Canadian Light Source Users' Advisory Committee (UAC) has 12 members with staggered terms, and there were three positions to fill for the term starting November, 2006.

A request to participate in the UAC election was distributed on July 5, 2006. The poll remained open from 12 Noon CST on July 5, 2005 until 12 noon CST on July 14, 2006.

Congratulations to the following who were elected for a three year term commencing January 1, 2006:

• Grant Henderson
• Ramaswami Sammynaiken
• Regan Wilks

Membership is intended to cross the spectrum, literally, across all wavelengths of synchrotron light activities, as well as across the user community (academia, government and industry) and across the country. The Users' Advisory Committee has a mandate to represent all CLS users.

Ingrid Pickering, who has been vice-chair for the past year, will take over the position of chair as of November, 2006.

Eligibility to Vote: When the CLS is operational, eligibility for voting in the UAC election will be based on the list of registered CLS users. In the commissioning phase, eligibility for voting in the UAC election is based on the intention to become a future user of the CLS.

If you have any questions or suggestions, the members of the UAC welcome your input. Further information about the UAC can be found at http://www.lightsource.ca/uac
