Fwd: Fwd: [chairs] Possible change to TC voting rules - input requested
by David Snelling 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Folks, the OASIS mail on voting. >> The OASIS Board Process Sub-Committee would like your input >> on a possible rule change regarding TC voting. >> >> Currently any person who is a TC member can be a voting member. Since >> eligibility is determined on an individual basis, not an >> organizational basis, an organization can have an unlimited number of >> voters (up to the number of members it has on that TC). Some >> concerns have been raised about this being fair, being a drain on >> resources of those organizations, and making it harder to manage >> quorum. Other concerns have been raised that reducing voting power on >> TCs could reduce participation. >> >> The options we are evaluating include: >> (a) Leaving the rules as currently written; >> (b) Capping the total number of votes that may be cast by TC members >> from a single organization to 1, 2 or 3; >> (c) Capping the total number of votes that may be cast by TC members >> from a single organization based on membership class (e.g., >> sponsors >> might get 3 versus contributors having 2). >> >> The voting rights of individual and associate members in TCs would >> not be changed by these proposals. >> >> Please send your comments to: >> [oasis-member-discuss(a)lists.oasis-open.org] by 20 November, 2006.

Upcoming Board-of-Directors discussion
by Linesch, Mark 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

All, One of the topics for our upcoming Board-of-Directors (BoD) and Advisory Committee (ADCOM) meetings during Supercomputer (Wed, Nov 15th) is the Technical Strategy and Roadmap document. If possible, I would like to be able to engage BoD and ADCOM members to give us feedback and suggestions regarding the contents of the document - even at this early stage. Dave has also agree to present a 1/2 hour status update during our meetings via con-call. I think this is a great opportunity to get some early feedback on our efforts as we mature the contents through the rest of this year and look to publish our first version for public comment during late January leading up to OGF19. As you continue your discussions and contributions to the document, please keep these timeframes in mind. I would like to have Dave send a personal copy of the document to each BoD and ADCOM member with a request to read and provide feedback to the TSC. Dave probably needs to send this the Friday before SC06 or Friday, November 10th so that we can provide our BoD and ADCOM members the appropriate "travel reading material" :-) Thanks for your efforts on behalf of OGF and our members, Mark Mark Linesch: Open Grid Forum (OGF): Hewlett Packard 281-514-0322 (Tel): 281-414-7082 (Cell) mark.linesch(a)hp.com : linesch(a)ogf.org
