Subject: OASIS Emergency Interoperability Member Section Steering Committee Nominations Now Open
OASIS Members, Three seats on the OASIS
Emergency Interoperability (EI) Member Section (MS) Steering Committee [1] are open
for nominations. All EI MS participants are invited to nominate qualified
candidates and/or serve on the Steering Committee. If you aren't currently
active in the EI Member Section, now is a great time to join. OASIS EI accelerates the
development, adoption, application, and implementation of emergency
interoperability standards and related work. The MS endeavors to represent and
serve the needs of all constituents, from practitioners to technology providers
including national, international and multinational oversight agencies. The nomination and election
procedures for the Steering Committee are defined by the OASIS Member Section
Policy [2] and the EI Member Section Rules of Procedure [3]. Any EI MS participant [4]
may nominate or be nominated as a candidate for the Steering Committee. Any
OASIS member may join the EI MS [5]. The process to join is simple but it must
be completed during the nomination period. . Each EI 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
Representative serves as the Qualified Elector. 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. NOMINATION & ELECTION
SCHEDULE Nominations will be held 22
October - 11 November 2009. The election will be held 13
- 25 November 2009. NOMINATION PROCESS Any EI MS participant may
nominate a candidate via email to: nominations@oasis-open.org. Prior to being confirmed as
a candidate, each nominee must: 1. Accept the nomination 2. Confirm his/her ability
to meet the time commitments of the position (participation in a two-hour
teleconference each month, promote the work of the Member Section); 3. **Provide background
information and a position statement describing his/her qualifications and
motivations for serving on the Steering Committee; and 4. Be a participant in the
EI Member Section. ELECTION PROCESS The three new Steering
Committee members will be selected by the EI MS Qualified Electors, using the
Single Transferable Voting (STV) process - Scottish Method [6]. STV considers
each voter's ranked preference for candidates, in order to more accurately
reflect the wishes of the electorate. EI MS Qualified Electors will be sent
detailed voting instructions separately. Results will be announced
immediately after they are tabulated and confirmed. We encourage all EI MS
participants to consider serving on the Steering Committee. Please contact
(member-services@oasis-open.org) with any questions you might have regarding
this process. Regards, [1] http://www.oasis-emergency.org/steering-committee [2] http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ms_policy.php
