OASIS IDtrust Member Section Steering Committee Nominations Extended to 30 July 2010!

OASIS members:

 

 Two seats serving two-year terms on the OASIS Identity
and Trusted

 Infrastructure (IDtrust) Member Section (MS) Steering
Committee [1] are

 open for nomination recommendations. Any IDtrust MS
participant may

 nominate or be nominated as a candidate for the
Steering Committee.  If

 you aren't currently active in the IDtrust Member
Section, now is a

 great time to join [2]. The process to join is simple
but it must be

 completed during the nomination period.

 

 The IDtrust Steering Committee provides guidance to
help the Member

 Section achieve its goal of promoting greater
understanding and

 adoption of standards-based identity and trusted
infrastructure technologies,

 policies, and practices. The nomination and election
procedures for the

 Steering Committee are defined by the OASIS Member
Section Policy [3]

 and the IDtrust Member Section Rules of Procedure
[4].

 

 Each IDtrust MS Supporting Entity has one Qualified
Elector who casts

 the single vote on behalf of his/her
organization. Unless otherwise

 designated, the organization's Primary Representative
serves as the

 Qualified Elector.

 

 The Primary Rep may defer the voting member role to
another employee

 member by sending an email to ;
any such

 change should be in place before the ballot is cast.

 ELECTION PROCESS

 

 The two new Steering Committee members will be
selected by the MS

 Qualified Electors, using the Single Transferable

 -

 Scottish  Method [6]. STV considers each voter's
ranked preference for

 candidates, in order to more accurately reflect the
wishes of the

 Steering Committee. Please contact ()
