October 23, 2011 ----------------------------------- Candidate's Statement: Dr. Ryan Dunch ----------------------------------- Dear H-Net colleagues, I am standing for the position of H-Staff Editor in the coming election, to serve a two-year term until December 31, 2013. I have been a list editor of H-ASIA since 2004, and served a three-year term on the H-Net Council that concluded at the end of 2010. I have been serving as H-Staff Editor, first in an acting and then in an interim capacity, since April 27, 2011. I posted a long candidate statement only four months ago (June 27, 2011, in the logs at http://h-net.msu.edu/cgi-bin/logbrowse.pl?trx=lm&list=HNET-Staff username H-Staff, password segment) so I will not repeat that all now. Readers will have a sense of how I have moderated the list over the past few months. Outside of H-Net I am an historian of modern China at the University of Alberta, where I currently serve as Chair of the Department of East Asian Studies. As a candidate for election I cannot continue to moderate the H-Staff list. In accordance with the by-laws, I have appointed Penny Richards of H-Disability as Assistant H-Staff Editor, and will be turning the list over to her following the posting of this message (thanks again, Penny!). By my count we now have at least one candidate for each position, and just under a day remaining in the nominating period for additional candidates to come forward. That will be followed by a two-week campaign period ending November 7. The polls will be open November 9-11 inclusive (US Eastern Standard Time). Please remember to vote! Ryan Dunch H-ASIA
