OASIS Member Meeting Survey Results

[Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>]

Many thanks to everyone who participated in last month's survey on a
potential face-to-face general member meeting in 2011.

We received 142 responses. The results indicated a very close divide
between members likely (51%) and unlikely (49%) to attend a face-to-face general
meeting.

The primary obstacles to attendance were lack of travel budget (37%)
and time (12%), although some members (12%) simply feel a face-to-face
meeting would not be beneficial.

Of the 51% of members who said they would be somewhat or very likely
to attend, most said they would do so if TC meetings were held in
conjunction with the event. TC Lightning Rounds and a networking
reception were also ranked as very desirable by those likely to attend.

Complete results are posted at

Before a final determination is made regarding a meeting in 2011,
staff will explore the opportunity with TC chairs to determine their
level of support. We encourage all TCs to discuss the issue at their
next meeting and determine whether or not they would find value in
co-locating a F2F TC meeting with a general members meeting. Chairs
will be asked to convey their conclusions to our Events Manager, Jane
Harnad.

Again, thanks to all who took the time to share their views on this
topic with us.

Regards,

Scott...
