LITA JPEG2000 interest group needs a new chair

Greetings fellow JPEG2000 enthusiasts --

The JPEG2000 interest group has been a part of LITA (Library and Information Technology Association)
division of ALA for most of a decade, and in that time it has been my pleasure to serve as chair of the group. 
The LITA bylaws, however, state that the chair of an interest group can only serve a maximum of four years,
so the IG needs a new chair.  Think of this as a great opportunity to volunteer a little bit of time towards a
great goal.

The management overhead of an interest group is pretty low.  There is a LITA chairperson's meeting on
Saturday morning of both the midwinter and annual conference.  You'll need to respond to occasional
e-mails from the LITA office about scheduling interest group meetings for midwinter and annual
conferences.  And you'll need to report on the interest group discussions after each conference.  If you
want to put on a program or produce a publication, there are liaisons to LITA committees to help you out in
addition to the great support from the LITA staff.

If you are interested in the position, let me know.  If there is enough interest, we'll do an e-mail ballot of
LITA members on this list.

On a related note, I will not be able to chair the meeting at the upcoming annual convention on June 26th.  I've
been ask to participate on a panel that runs at the same time as the interest group meeting.  But I will
certainly help the incoming chair prepare for the meeting.

Peter
