Election for Motions Committee

WSDC holds an annual election for the committee of people who discuss and select the topics for debate at each World Championships. Nominations are currently open for the Committee setting motions for WSDC 2008, in Washington D.C.

Please consider standing if - you're someone who's familiar with WSDC, and who has the time, energy and interest to work with a group of 6 others (communicating by e-mail) to carefully discuss ideas; decide on a varied, balanced and appropriate set of topics; and very carefully consider and fine-tune the wording of motions.

Please DO NOT stand if - you will be in any way involved in helping to coach or prepare a team that will be participating in the championships in Washington, either as the team's official coach in any other official or unofficial supporting capacity.

The WSDC Rules state that the committee should reflect the “geographic, cultural and linguistic diversity of the participants at the championships”. Appropriate candidates from various regions and from ESL / EFL countries are certainly encouraged to stand.

If you're interested, please contact mark.gabriel@iname.com for a nominations form. Nominations close on 9th April.
