Re: [Tei-council] Rahtz Prize Committee interest?

Thanks, Raff! That would be wonderful if you can join the committee, but let's make sure you would not be tasked with the outreach-for-applicants portion of it. I'm checking in with Diane about how the process goes, or how she would like it to go this year, and if this arrangement would be okay...

Hi Elisa,

Could you clarify what you mean by "looking for applications"? If it means soliciting applications, setting up forms, etc. then I should probably pass because I have too many other similar people-focused tasks on my plate. But if it's more about reviewing and meeting with the committee, I'd be happy to help. I could either represent the council, or join as a previous awardee. I have served once already (as previous awardee).

Best, Raff

Greetings, Council! We need one representative from Council to serve on a little three-person committee to award the Rahtz Prize for TEI Ingenuity https://tei-c.org/activities/rahtz-prize-for-tei-ingenuity/ for 2023: one from Council, one from Board, and one who won the award in a previous cycle. Apparently we have a proud tradition of always running late in the posted cycle--but we do need to get started quickly! I understand that the little committee needs to form and issue a call for applications, likely by early August and then start reviewing them to make a decision by the time of the TEI / MEC conference.

This involves looking for applications, reviewing submissions and that we'll typically announce the winner at the TEI Conference in the Annual General Meeting. So long as you have not served on the committee 4 times already, you're eligible to represent Council.

Are you interested in serving on the Rahtz committee to represent the Council? If so reply to this and let me know--probably in course of the next week--say before July 27, okay? I am willing to serve in this capacity but I wanted to ask the group first--I am also going to be crazy busy in August getting ready for my university classes (which start 21 August) and the Council F2F. I'd be super grateful for anyone with a more peaceful August schedule who is willing to serve on this committee!

Thanks, Elisa
