STATEMENT
As Executive Editor of SIPTA, I will attend to all matters textual. I will manage maintenance & updates of its web presence, such as mailing lists and websites of the society and events. I will furthermore foster community initiatives in the on-line and publication sphere. I have the technical skills needed for this role (web & book editing, server software management, etc.) and experience working on SIPTA's websites, as evidenced, for example, by my contributions to saving event sites from disappearing from the web by moving them to the sipta.org domain. I have furthermore supported and been active in fresh initiatives, such as the translation effort for Kuznetsov's book. I aim to provide stability and sustainable growth.
As At-large member of SIPTA, I will support the Named Officers in their tasks. I will especially be available to support the Executive Editor, as I see myself providing a valuable contribution there. Furthermore, I will be accessible to you as members of the SIPTA community, to bring your initiatives, opinions, and feedback under the attention of the Executive Committee.
