CESRA messages: Forwarded info concerning ESPD elections %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dear colleagues The elections for the board of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) will take place from 14-16 September 2011, which is during the week of the ESPM 13 meeting. In previous years, for practical reasons, the election has been restricted to those attending the ESPM meeting. This year we wish to hold online elections using the facilities offered by the European Physical Society (EPS), of which the ESPD is a division. To take advantage of this, you must register as a member of the ESPD *before 13 September 2011* using the following instructions: - the link to register is:http://www.eps.org/subscribe - select "European Astronomical Society" in the Collaborating Societies - select "Solar Physics Division" in the Divisions and Sections (Members who do not select these two names cannot be distinguished as EAS/ESPD members.) European Physical Society membership is €40 per year, but this year you do not have to make the payment to cast your vote. However, in future years it is expected that only paid-up EPS members will be able to vote in the ESPD elections. Instructions on how to vote will be sent to you by the EPS, and the names and statements of those standing for election will be on the voting page. Best wishes, Stefaan Poedts Valery Nakariakov Lyndsay Fletcher
