Election for OASIS Board of Directors: What are folks thinking?

The deadline to cast votes is next week, 29 June

    

    I'd be very interested in hearing what candidates other DITA TC
    members would support.

    

    You can find information about the candidates here: 

    https://www.oasis-open.org/private/elections/2015board/

    

    Consider reading the candidates' profiles and communicating your
    preferences with the voting member for your company.

    

    Here are the voting members for the companies that are represented
    on the DITA TC (or have regularly attending folks):

    

    Bluestream: Jim Tivy

    Comtech: JoAnn Hackos

    Eberlein Consulting LLC: Kris Eberlein

    IBM: Dave Ings

    IXIASOFT: Keith Schengli-Roberts

    Just Systems: Tom Magliery

    Oberon Technologies: Tim Allen

    PTC: Dave Helfinstine

    

    If you are not the voting member of the TC, there is a link at above
    URL that will tell you who your company rep is.

    

    It's interesting to read the platforms for the various candidates.
    They include such items as:

    
      
Provide valuable continuity to the Board at a time of
        considerable change.

      
Making the TC process more agile and iterative, while still
        assuring quality

      
Improving OASIS tooling and increasing geographic diversity of
        membership

      
Promoting women in the digital world

      
 Launching the new OASIS Open Repository program - the
        forthcoming capability to develop an OASIS standard alongside an
        affiliated open source project

      
Driving specification development and open source
        implementation projects in tandem

      
Extend the work of the OASIS Privacy Management Reference
        Model (PMRM) to include children's privacy and delegated consent

      
Represent the needs of IT startups as well as enterprise and
        government customers

      Best,

      Kris
