Subject: eGov Member Section Steering Committee Nominations Now Open
OASIS members: Five seats serving a 'two-year term' on the OASIS eGov Member Section (MS) Steering Committee [1] are up for election. Three seats are to be filled by current or past employees of governmental or public administration entities who are OASIS AGA members and two seats will be filled by any member of the Member Section. All eGov MS participants are invited to nominate qualified candidates and/or serve on the Steering Committee. If you aren't currently active in the eGov Member Section, now is a great time to join. The OASIS eGovernment Member Section (eGov MS) serves as a focal point for discussions of governmental and public administration requirements for e-business standardization. Bringing together representatives from global, regional, national and local government agencies, the eGov MS provides a platform for those who share a common interest in directing and understanding the impact of open standards on the public sector. The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee is defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [2] and the eGov Member Section Rules of Procedure [3]. Any eGov MS participant [4] may nominate or be nominated as a candidate for the Steering Committee. Any OASIS member may join the eGov MS [5]. The process is simple but it must be completed during the nomination period to submit a nomination. Each eGov 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 20-January-2011 through 11-February-2011. The election will be held 14-February-2011 through 28-February-2011. NOMINATION PROCESS Any eGov 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 commitments of the position including but not limited to: * participation in a one to two-hour teleconference each month, (NB the first meeting will be 14 March at 18.00 CET) * spend at least 2 hours per month preparing and reviewing documentation related to the mission of the MS, * taking responsibility for advancing items on the Work Programme, * representing the Member Section at relevant meetings and events, * promoting 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 eGov Member Section. ELECTION PROCESS The five new Steering Committee members will be selected by the eGov 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. Results will be announced immediately after they are tabulated and confirmed. We encourage all eGov participants to consider serving on the Steering Committee. Please contact (member-services@oasis-open.org) with any questions you might have regarding this process.
