The Nominating Committee consists of one Member from each of the following regions:
- Africa
- Asia and the Pacific
- Europe
- North America
- South America.
The Committee members solicit nominees from the nephrology community within their respective region for vacancies on the ISN Council and Executive Committee.
Nominees are selected as individuals on the basis of their contributions to the progress of nephrology.
The Nominating Committee then presents a list of 3 candidates per vacancy to the ISN Council. The Council reduces the number to two per Council vacancy and to a single name for each open position on the Executive Committee, hereby establishing equity in scientific discipline and in geography.
The ballot sheet with two candidates for each unoccupied seat on the Council is then distributed to the Membership by mail. The candidates for the positions on the Executive Committee are presented to the General Assembly for ratification.
For proposal of candidates (for Council vacancies in 2025) please contact the Committee member in your region!
