Dear OASIS Board of Directors Voters,

 

Just in case you've put off making that tough decision I'd
like to provide 

you with a friendly reminder that there are only 13 hours
left to vote (or 

change your ballot if you inadvertently forgot to check my
box :-) in the 

OASIS Board of Directors special election.

 

While I'm at it, (you knew there'd be a short pitch ;-) I'd
like to 

emphasize a few of the key points you can find in my complete
statement at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/download.php/3848/mischkinsky.html


 

 

I, and my company, bring to the table a depth of experience
in the 

standards world. We believe that the industry is served best
when companies 

cooperate on developing standards and compete on
implementations. To make 

OASIS an even better place to achieve this objective, if
elected to the 

OASIS Board, we would focus on:

 

    o Adding a Royalty-Free IPR option - Oracle favors forums
where 

contributions are royalty free unless the contributors
indicate otherwise 

at the time that they make a contribution.  We value our
patent portfolio 

and understand how some intellectual property is so
fundamental to a 

business that it can not be offered to competitors without 

charge.  However, we believe that TC participants should be
allowed to make 

rational business decisions as to whether such technology is
so valuable to 

their efforts that it must be incorporated with full
knowledge of future costs.

 

    o TC support - Fine-tuning the organizational support for
the nuts and 

bolts of running TC's

 

    o Improving board/member communication and increasing
membership 

decision-making opportunities

 

    o Coordinating the increasing amount of web services
activity

 

Regardless of your choice, I urge you to vote before the
Monday 27 October 

11:30 pm eastern deadline so that we elect directors who are
representative 

of the entire OASIS electorate.

 

Cheers,

   Jeff Mischkinsky
