Subject:  UDDI Member Section Annual Election - Nominations for the  Member Section Steering Committee - EXTENDED

Greetings. The  June 30th deadline for nominations has passed, with only one nominee standing  for election. The current Steering Committee is extending the nomination  period through the end of July. If we do not get enough nominees to form a  viable Steering Committee, we will consider other alternatives, one of which  is to close the Member Section. That will mean passing stewardship of uddi.org  to the UDDI Specification TC, as well as the various promotional activities  the Steering Committee supports. We will also lose the promotional budget  controlled by the Member Section. At a time when interest in UDDI is rapidly  increasing, the current SC members believe it is in the best interest of UDDI  and the Specification TC to keep the Member Section in place. If you agree,  please consider submission of a nomination. Thanks much. 

Regards,  George

Subject:  Announcing the UDDI Member Section Annual Election and  call for Nominations for the Member Section Steering  Committee

The OASIS UDDI Member Section  Steering Committee is comprised of representatives from Member Section  companies interested in promoting the adoption of UDDI and who are dedicated  to advancing open standards for interoperability. By serving on the Steering  Committee, members can have a direct impact on the strategic direction of UDDI  standardization, and on development and implementation of Web Services  affiliated standards and specifications. 

The  Steering Committee is currently comprised of 5 elected members, serving  one-year terms. See http://www.uddi.org/governance/ for details. Currently, all business is conducted by email and  teleconferences. Steering Committee members should plan to spend up to 5% of  their time on Member Section business, and be able to host 20% of the monthly  teleconferences. 

Nominations 

Any UDDI Member Section member  organization may nominate an individual for the Steering Committee. Nominees  are required to be members of Member Section member organizations. Individuals  should be nominated for their personal qualifications and commitment, not  solely for their company or organizational affiliation. Nominations should be  posted to this list or sent to me at , and must be received  during the nomination period. Each nomination should include a short biography  and an optional statement describing the nominee's interest in and  qualifications for serving on the Steering Committee. 

Early nominations are strongly encouraged.

Voting Process 

Each  Member Section organizational member company is eligible to vote via one  ballot. In order to submit a ballot, members must be in good standing when the  ballot opens. 

Notification of the availability of  online ballots is distributed via email to each organizational member's  Primary Representative and/or designated Voting Representative. Ballots list  candidates by name and organization. 

Each Member  Section Sponsor and Contributor member organization may submit one ballot with  votes for up to five individuals for the Steering Committee. Completed ballots  must be received by OASIS before the end of the balloting period. The  balloting system confirms receipt of the ballot to the voting member. The  balloting period ends at the time stated. If quorum is not reached, the  balloting period will be extended by reasonable notice to all voting members.  

The five Steering Committee candidates receiving  the highest number of votes join the Steering Committee. 

In the case of a tie, the current Steering Committee members will  decide on the selection from among the tied candidates. Should this happen,  the membership of the Member Section will be notified of which candidates were  elected by ballot, which tied candidates were selected by the Steering  Committee, and which tied candidates were not selected in this  process.
