Subject: Nominations open for OASIS Distinguished Contributors Award


Members:
Recipients of this year's "OASIS Distinguished Contributor" awards will be
announced at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 20 and 21 April. All OASIS
members are eligible and invited to submit nominations. 

The "OASIS Distinguished Contributor" award is presented annually to
individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement based on the
following criteria:  

1. Introduction of new work
Distinguished Contributors are evangelists of the OASIS open standards
process. They identify gaps where new activities and standards are needed
and encourage participation in our consortium. 

2. Influence and visibility in the industry 
Distinguished Contributors are recognized as leaders and experts in their
fields by peers, the media, and the industry. Their influence improves the
quality of OASIS work and inspires other members to emulate them.

3. Ability to build consensus
Distinguished Contributors model and facilitate open, inclusive
standards-making, ensuring that all stakeholders are heard and that
technical work is advanced through collaboration.

4. Leadership and service
Distinguished Contributors serve in leadership and influential roles in
OASIS committees and projects. Their participation substantially raises the
quality and breadth of OASIS technical work.


HOW ARE DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTORS NOMINATED?

The 2010 nomination period will extend to 16 April. Any OASIS Member,
Technical Committee, or Member Section may nominate a candidate by sending
email to member-services@oasis-open.org. Each nomination should include a
brief statement describing the candidate's achievements in relation to the
above four criteria. Nominations will be treated as staff-confidential;
candidate names will not be publicized unless they are selected to receive
the award.

Final selection will be made by staff and announced at the AGM webinars on
20 and 21 April.


PROGRAM DETAILS:

Award: Recipients will receive a certificate, and their photos and profiles
will appear on the OASIS web site. Individual-level memberships for life
will be granted to those who qualify.

Terms: OASIS Distinguished Contributor status is held in perpetuity, similar
to a "Lifetime Achievement Award" or "Hall of Fame". Thus, a person will not
be named as an OASIS Distinguished Contributor more than once.
