The LegalXML ROP is posted at http://www.legalxml.org/governance/rules_of_procedures.shtml The governance details are posted below. Thank you for taking the time to hash this out, as we are heading into some important changes to your RoP. 1. Governance 1. The LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee will be formed from existing OASIS members who have indicated their intent to participate significantly in LegalXML Member Section activities. Initially, the LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee will be comprised of members from the current LegalXML, Inc. Board of Directors. All LegalXML Steering Committee members must be current OASIS members. 2. Beginning ninety days after the first official meeting of the fourth Legal XML Member Section Technical Committee, the steering committee shall be constituted as follows: 1. Each OASIS LegalXML Member Section Technical Committee shall elect a member of the Technical Committee to the OASIS LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee. 2. Three additional "at large" steering committee members shall be elected by the set of all members of all OASIS LegalXML Technical Committees who are also OASIS LegalXML Member Section members (those who have requested OASIS LegalXML Member Section membership upon joining or renewing their OASIS membership) or employees of such members. The election shall be on an annual basis. "At large" members shall serve one-year terms, and shall be eligible for election to no more than three successive terms. 3. The LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee shall operate under the OASIS Bylaws and these Rules of Procedure.
