Roster Cleanup

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

Hello everyone,

 

  My understanding is that meetings have been held on a regular (bi-weekly) basis; however the last set of minutes posted were from October. I have worked with Sally St. Armand to try to determine who should be considered a voting member - both for the upcoming chair election and moving forward with TC work projects.

 

  I suggest that everyone read the OASIS TC Process Policy - this is the document that guides the operation of our technical committees. Of immediate relevance is the attendance policy in relation to voting rights. In order to obtain voting rights an individual must attend two meetings in a row; they are then able to vote at the next meeting (as long as they attend). Similarly, if an individual misses two meetings in a row, they then lose their voting rights.

  Somewhat related are the rules relating to participation. Only members of the TC are allowed to participate in the work of the TC. OASIS members may join a TC as observers; in that role they may listen in on teleconferences and recieve all emails sent to the TC maillist, but they can not contribute either by voice or by email. There should be no individuals on a call who do not appear on the roster.

 

  The list below is from Sally's notes. If anyone is in disagreement please send an email to this list no later than close of business tomorrow (Thursday 16 Feb).

 

Attended 17 Jan 06:

Brown

Malek

St Amand

***Valliappan

Webber

Zugic

 

Attended 31 Jan 06:

Brown

***Drecun

St Amand

Webber

Zugic

 

Note that the individuals identified with asterisks are NOT members of the ebSOA TC and are not allowed to participate in any way in the work of the TC. If they wish to monitor the work of the TC they should do that via the email archives and the TC public webpage. Valliappan, as an OASIS member, is free to join the TC if he wishes to participate in any way, including as an observer. Drecun is NOT an OASIS member and would need to join OASIS in order to then join the TC in any capacity.

 

That being said, it appears that there are five voting members:

George Brown

Hamid Ben Malek

Sally St Amand

David Webber

Goran Zugic

 

The current ebSOA TC roster can been seen at

I will modify the role of the following individuals to Member before launching the ballot unless I hear otherwise by close of business 16 Feb 06:

Michael Ruiz

Kathy Breininger

Ed Chase

Sally Fuger

Tim Matthews

Ron Schuldt

Puay Siew Tan

Steve Capell

 

Thank you all for your patience as we try to get the ebSOA TC back on solid footing.

 

Regards,

 

Mary
