Subject: Proposed COSL Visiting Scholars Program, for discussion
Please review the following proposal for a COSL MS program, to be discussed at our COSL MS Steering Committee meeting tomorrow. My thanks to Andy Lee for his helpful description of the concept. . Kind regards JBC ~ James Bryce Clark ~ Director of Standards Development, OASIS ~ http://www.oasis-open.org/who/staff.php#clark ===== Draft: Proposed Visiting Scholars Program 1. Under this program, senior technologists will be sponsored to come to China for short visiting research, assistance and vacation engagements that relate to specific standards-development and relevant product-development needs of Changfeng Alliance member companies. 2. It is anticipated that the average engagement would consist of a 2-3 week period, with 2/3rds time in Beijing for face-to-face assistance and discussion with the sponsoring Changfeng member companies, and 1/3rd time to travel within China. It is proposed that ChangFeng Alliance would be able to arrange for all logistics and travel expenses, in amounts expected to be close to RMB 50,000 per engagement. 3. Changfeng Alliance member companies will define proposed engagements, to be added to the roster of available opportunities known to be funded. The sponsoring company expectations, expected timeline, terms of the sponsored travel, and any special skills or qualification required, will be put into writing for each proposed engangement. It is expected that the criteria will be applied in advance, without there being any success or evaluative contingency at the end of the engagement. OASIS and its COSL MS will assist in publicizing the posted opportunities to its various constituencies. A timeline must be adopted, with a minimum period for the posting of posted engagement opportunities. 4. Applicants will be asked to submit statements of interests and resumes, as appropriate. The COSL MS will act as a preliminary screening committee, and review applications for each engagement, and may act individually (without necessarily holding a formal meeting). COSL MS screeners will transmit any comments to the sponsoring companies, along with all resumes submitted. The sponsoring companies may select from among applicants as they wish, and are not bound by any comments or suggestions of OASIS or the COSL MS, who will act only in an advisory capacity. Liability of the latter will be disclaimed in the program descriptive materials. . 5. Funding for the program and any reimbursements or other considerations will remain entirely between the sponsoring company and the selected applicant. 6. Changfeng Alliance may designate a member company (eBridge?) to manage and arrange the program for Changfeng. [end]
