2016 OASIS Board of Directors election

Greetings.

There's an election currently in progress
for the OASIS Board of Directors, and I would like your vote. This brief email
outlines why I think should you consider adding me into the list of 6
candidates you can vote for out of the 9 candidates that are running for
election.

 

OASIS has already sent out the reminder
emails including the full list of candidate profiles and most importantly the location
where you can vote – which is https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=2939

 

So why vote for me?  

 

You can view my biographical statement and
platform at https://www.oasis-open.org/private/elections/2016board/rich.php,
but as I’m sure you are busy here is a greatly condensed version:

- I've been actively directly participating
in OASIS standards activities for over 10 years across multiple technical
committees so I have first-hand experience in what OASIS is all about.

- I’ve worked for both large and small
companies (almost 38 years at IBM) and I currently represent a much smaller
Australia-based company, so my experiences encompass the challenges faced by
both large and small companies working with standards based software and working
in standards bodies.

- I've been heavily involved  in the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP) Technical Committee and more recently in the PKCS#11 Technical
Committee, so I have current experience in the challenges of both creating and evolving
standards through multiple versions and on designing, building and deploying systems
based on those standards. 

 

I would like the opportunity to take these
experiences and harness them in continuing to fine-tune OASIS processes and tooling
for world-class results, this time at a Board level. 

 

Receiving your vote would help give me that
chance.

Thanks for your consideration. If you have
further questions, my email address is on the bio, and I would welcome
interaction.
