After discussion among the committee, we decided to lower the age limit to be a candidate to 20 years old or above at the start of the term i.e. the 1st of February. Election Rules have been amended accordingly.

The next step now is the public question round. In order to give you, the memory community, a better chance to get to know the candidates and what they represent, you will have the opportunity to ask the candidates questions. To see the questions, or to ask your own, please go to IAM Facebook Group.

When asking a question, you should also make up your mind which of the candidates you want to answer the question. It can either be:

• A specific candidate
• Multiple, specific candidates
• All the candidates from your region
• All of the candidates from any region.

It’s basically all up to you, as long as you clearly state it when posting.

You will have time until 4th of December, 23:59 GMT to ask your questions. Once the deadline passes, the election committee will gather all the questions that have been asked and forward them to the candidates in private. The candidates will then have until the 8th of December, 23:59 GMT to answer the questions in writing, and once finished, they should be sent back to the Election Committee. The Election Committee will then publish all the candidates’ answers at the same time. This way all candidates will have a fair chance and equal opportunity and exposure, and their answers will not have been influenced by the other candidates.

We hope to see your questions!

The Election Committee,
Florian, Guillaume, Boris
