The electronic voting process for the Senior Staff Advisory Board (known as “the Nine”) closed at midnight on Friday, 27 August 2021.
The Senior Staff Advisory Board was created in 1981 to serve as a channel of communication between the senior staff and the Director-General. It is made up of nine members elected by the senior staff for a period of three years. The Nine share the ideas and experiences of the senior staff with the Director-General and offer advice on questions concerning scientific activities, organisational matters and use of resources. Elections for the Nine are held every year, ensuring an annual rotation of members.
Of the 577 senior staff members eligible to vote, 335 voted. Four candidates stood for election for Electoral Group 2 (Applied Physics, Engineering and Computer Science) and four for Electoral Group 3 (Administration, Human Resources, Finance and Purchasing & Safety).
David Barney, Christophe DelamareandChristoph Rembserwere elected, replacing the outgoing Nine members Richard Jacobsson, Christoph Schaefer and myself. Tony Cass will be the new spokesperson for one year. The Board will now consist of these newly elected members together with [end of mandate in brackets]:
