¶ Nominations in writing for the elections on 9 March, by two members (other than the candidate) of the electorate for each vacancy, which is the same as the persons from among whom the vacancy will be filled (as specified above), will be received by the Head Clerk at the University Offices, Wellington Square, up to 4 p.m. on Monday, 14 February, and similar nominations by six members of the electorate other than the candidate, except in the case of the Medical Sciences Board, up to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, 29 February. Six-member nominations for the Medical Sciences Board will be received up to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, 23 February.
Council has decided that nominations should show for each signatory the name and faculty, sub-faculty, or department (indicative of the relevant electorate) in block capitals. Any names which are not so shown may not be published. At least one nomination in respect of each candidate must be made on an official nomination form. Copies of the form are obtainable from the Head Clerk (telephone: (2)70190; e-mail: Philip.Moss@admin.ox.ac.uk).
In the event of a contested election, a brief biographical note on each candidate will be published in the Gazette dated 2 March, and voters may wish to wait until they have read these notes before returning their ballot papers (which will be sent out to members of the electorate as soon as possible after the closing date for nominations, and which, after completion, must be received by the Head Clerk not later than 4 p.m. on 9 March).

1. Each of the new Divisional Boards will have responsibility, under Council and subject to plans, policies, and guidelines set by Council and its committees, for one of the five new academic divisions (including its budget, space, syllabus, and staffing), embracing, among other matters, (a) the development and proposal, in collaboration with the colleges, divisional sub-units, and the academic services sector, of comprehensive and detailed strategic five-year plans and one-year operating statements, (b) the delivery of curricula (with an equal focus on graduate and undergraduate studies) and the maintenance of educational quality and standards in the broad subject area, (c) the division's relations with external funding agencies, and (d) the oversight of fund raising. Full details of the boards' responsibilities are set out in the Statute approved by Congregation on 29 June 1999 (Gazette, Vol. 129, pp. 1323, 1482).
2. The composition of the divisions and of the Divisional Boards, and the manner of holding elections, are laid down in Decree (1) of 4 November 1999 (Gazette, Vol. 130, p. 294). Each board will have the head of division in the chair, elected members as specified above, and a member appointed by the Conference of Colleges from within the division. (The Medical Sciences Board will also include the Regius Professor of Medicine and the Chairman of the Oxfordshire Health Authority. The Social Sciences Board will also include a representative of Area Studies elected by the chairmen of the relevant inter-faculty committees and the directors of the relevant centres.) Boards may co-opt one or more additional members (subject to the maximum number prescribed by the decree in each case). Two Junior Members, elected by the Oxford University Student Union, will have the right to attend each board for matters of unreserved business (with the right to speak but not to vote). Such officers of the University as Council may determine shall receive all board papers and may attend, or nominate a deputy to attend, any meeting (again, with the right to speak but not to vote).
3. Where it is specified in the above list that the candidates must be from among certain persons `working in' a department or other institution, both the candidates and the electors must be persons so working at the time of the election.
4. In the case of the five members of the Medical Sciences Board elected by and from among the members of the Faculty of Physiological Sciences and the Sub-faculty of Psychology, one must be from each of the Department of Human Anatomy and Genetics, the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, the Department of Pharmacology, the Department of Physiology, and the Department of Experimental Psychology.
5. The normal period of office for members of the Divisional Boards is four years, but the initial periods on each board are being varied to procure a regular rotation of subsequent appointments each year. Under the statutes, the length of the initial period of office of each person elected on 9 March will be determined by the number of votes cast for him or her (or, in the event of an equality of votes or an uncontested election, by academic standing).
6. The heads of the five new divisions are currently being selected, and their identities being published, once Council has approved their appointment, in the Gazette.
