<p class="MsoNormal"> Coronal Loops 5 will take place
next year in Mallorca, Spain, and it is now time to form the Scientific
Organizing Committee (SOC). We have decided to make the selection of the SOC
a more formal process than it has been in the past. To that end, we have
established bylaws for the Coronal Loops Workshop Series (attached).
The first step was to elect a Steering Committee from among the 20 founding
members---those who attended at least 3 of the first 4 workshops. This has
just been completed. The next step is for the Steering Committee to elect
5 of 7 members of the SOC. The new SOC chair, Inaki Ugarte Urra, and past
chair, Joan Schmelz, are automatically members. The purpose of this e-mail
is to ask the broader loops community for nominees to serve on the SOC. A
slate of candidates will then be presented to the Steering Committee for a
vote. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, with their
permission, please send me an e-mail at <a href="mailto:James.A.Klimchuk@nasa.gov"><a href="mailto:James.A.Klimchuk@nasa.gov">James.A.Klimchuk@nasa.gov</a></a> by the end
of the day next Monday, July 12. Sorry for the short fuse, but
there are reasons for acting quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">P.S. In Mallorca, we will discuss the bylaws and
whether they should be modified.<o:p></o:p></p>
