Subject: LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee 'Special Election' Nominations Now Open


OASIS members:

Due to the vacation of a seat, one 'at-large' seat serving a 'one-year term'
on the OASIS LegalXML Member Section (MS) Steering Committee [1] is up for
election. 

The OASIS LegalXML Member Section produces technical specifications that
support implementation of XML technology in the legal system for use by all
who have a stake in electronic legal documents, records, and information
exchanges. The LegalXML Member Section engages legal document creators,
vendors, academics, and users in a legal community in defining requirements,
drafting and reviewing the specifications. If you aren't currently active in
the LegalXML Member Section, now is a great time to join.

The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee are
defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [2] and the LegalXML
Member Section Rules of Procedure [3]. 

Any LegalXML MS participant [4] may nominate or be nominated as a candidate
for the Steering Committee. Any OASIS member may join the LegalXML MS.

The "At Large" LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee member will be
nominated and elected by Member Section Qualified Electors. The LegalXML
Member Section Qualified Electors are those Eligible Persons who are either
an Individual Member Section Supporting Entity or an employee or designee of
an organizational Member Section Supporting Entity, who subscribes to the
Member Section email list. An organizational Member Section Supporting
Entity may have more than one Qualified Elector. Please contact
(member-services@oasis-open.org) if you have any questions regarding your
affiliation with the LegalXML MS.
