I'd add that I reached out to all of the candidates on behalf of the signatories to the OpenACM petition, to get details on their positions on open access. All of the responses are available in the Google doc below and I'd encourage you to read it before voting in the election (and please do vote!). You should have received information on voting in an email with the subject line "2020 ACM General Election". https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oeafn8_N00fW1Exi1K-x7Jw6Pc0_ElZv7XZBF8soTBE/edit?usp=sharing Best, Robert On Sat, May 2, 2020 at 3:16 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > [ The Types Forum, http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-list > ] > > Dear type theorists, > > some months ago, we had a discussion about the ACM and open access. > > If you are interested in this issue and you are an ACM member, I'd > like to draw your attention to the fact that the ACM currently has an > election going on, for everything from president downwards.
