The 1990 elections are underway for ACM SIGGRAPH. Ballots were mailed to all voting members and should have arrived by May 1. Completed ballots must be received at ACM Headquarters in New York no later than June 15 to be counted in the election. Complete details on voting are included in the material accompanying the ballots. The election is to select five directors from a field of eight nominees to serve two-year terms on the ACM SIGGRAPH executive committee. There are also two proposed amendments to the bylaws that require approval and a short list of questions polling the membership about the election process and the recent ACM SIGGRAPH focus group report. Further information on all of this is included in the material accompanying the ballots. If you are a voting member of ACM SIGGRAPH, you are encouraged to cast your ballot for the candidates of your choice. You are also encouraged to vote for or against the proposed bylaw amendments and to answer the questions in the poll. All of these actions will contribute to a more responsible and responsive organization within SIGGRAPH. If you are a voting member of ACM, you are encouraged to participate in the ACM election, which is also underway. The deadline for returning ballots in that election is somewhat earlier, but there are still a couple of weeks remaining. Kellogg S. Booth ACM SIGGRAPH nominating committee
