In accordance with the new procedure, each year the Executive Board will release the names of its nominees for ALA Honorary Membership to the ALA Council via a special electronic discussion list created solely for the purpose of disseminating these names. The announcement will be made two weeks before the start of the ALA Midwinter Meeting. A document summarizing each nominee's contributions and accomplishments, prepared by ALA Librarian/Knowledge Manager Karen Muller, will be included with the announcement. Councilors who have any additional information that could be pertinent to the nomination are asked to send the information directly to the Director of the Office of ALA Governance at jkempf@ala.org. ** It is important that Councilors respect the privacy of the nominees. Please do not use the Council electronic discussion list to debate these nominations. The list at which you are receiving this message was created solely for the purpose of disseminating the names of the nominees. The only individuals subscribed to this list are current Councilors; there are no "lurkers." Opportunity for discussion will be provided on the Council floor as indicated below. ** Should additional information relating to a nomination for Honorary Membership be received that suggests the need for further research, staff will research the matter to the best of their ability in the time available. Staff will report any results of their research in Executive Session at the first Board session at the Midwinter Meeting, and the Executive Board will determine at that time whether to reconsider the nomination. Presentation to the ALA Council of nominees for Honorary Membership by the Immediate Past President on behalf of the Executive Board will occur at either Council II or Council III at the Midwinter Meeting. 1

2 Council will be asked to vote on each nominee in turn. Prior to calling for the vote, the presiding officer will offer Council the opportunity to discuss each nomination. If Council indicates that they wish to hold a debate on the merits of any candidate, Council will move into closed session in accordance with ALA Open Meetings Policy 7.4.4, which stipulates that discussion of matters affecting the privacy of individuals be held in closed session.
