EDIT: Andrew has found out that the deadline for nominations has been extended to this Friday, October 18. You can email nominations to Kate Meck at kmeck@nas.edu.
END EDIT
According to Patricia Carter (posting on thoughtsaboutme.com and PANDORA's Facebook), nominations for the IoM panel for MEcfs are due tomorrow, Friday October 11. I have searched the Internet, but have not found any other mention. (All I did find were some sections from other IoM reports from 2009 characterizing ME as a psychiatric and somatoform disorder).
The only email I have for IoM is iomwww@nas.edu.
Does anyone else know anything about this? Does anyone have the email address we are supposed to respond to?

PANDORA AND CAA ARE RECRUITING PEOPLE TO SERVE ON THE IOM COMMITTEE. Someone has just pointed out to me that while M.E. patients are busy signing the petition to HHS to Stop the IOM and Accept the CCC, some “advocates” are already suggesting who should be on the IOM committee. My informant asks not to be named, but (s)he has seen the form and the names have to be in by October 11. Patients need to be aware of what our so-called “advocacy” organizations are doing. They are double-crossing patients behind our backs! We must move very quickly if we want to fight this!
