RE: [uddi-ms] UDDI Member Section Annual Election - Nominations for the Member Section Steering Committee about to close

Title: Message

Hi 
George,

 

Could you 
do me a huge favour and get us off the UDDI mailing list - we became members 
believing in the ideals and didn't even get replies to our emails - 
sorry we are a very small company - with customers in only 73 countries, and 
recently featured on the front page of the Financial Times trying to help 
develop standardisation in interoperable collaboration,  VOIP and 
CRM... and yes our membership has lapsed, we might have missed the 
committee meeting but we do really understand the 
business...

 

Kind 
regards

 

Nick 
Ogden

 

CEO

Jean-Luc, thank-you for forwarding your nomination for a seat on the 
  Steering Committee. You have excellent credentials, and could bring a user's 
  perspective in our work of promoting UDDI. Thanks again.

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.

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.
