Dear OASIS members:

Each Emergency Interoperability MS Supporting Entity has one Qualified Elector who casts the single vote on behalf of his/her organization. Unless otherwise designated, the organization's Primary Rep serves as the Qualified Elector, see current roster; http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-ms/members/roster.php.
The Primary Rep may defer the voting member role to another employee member by sending an email to member-services@oasis-open.org; any such change should be in place before the ballot is cast. Also, any OASIS member may join the Emergency Interoperability Member Section at any time. Please send an email to member-services@oasis-open.org and request participation in this member section.
To insure that all Members and Observers in this Member Section understand the election process, the voting instructions are as follows:

The three new Steering Committee members will be selected by the MS Qualified Electors, in a closed ballot. The ballot tabulation process and quorum requirements are detailed in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/member-sections].
