Hi carol Hope this email finds you well. Thanks for all the info you have been sending to me. May I request some help/advice from you? I would like to replace the email of contact with Oasis from ongsiohue@eginnovations.com to srinivas@eginnovations.com May I know if informing you personally is sufficient or should I go to the user records and make the necessary updates? Pls advise. Looking forward to hearing from you at the earliest.

Our current Bylaws provide that any change to the size of the Board requires a membership vote. Each designated Voting Representative of an OASIS member organization has been asked to vote on these revisions. The voting period opened at 9:00pm PDT [GMT-7] 10 September and will extend until 9:00pm PDT [GMT-7] 25 September 2003. Proposed changes, which are documented in the OASIS Bylaws Draft Revision - September 2003, found at http://www.oasis-open.org/who/oasis_bylaws_draft.pdf, include: Recommended Change #1. Increase the maximum number of Directors from 8 to 11. Rationale for Change #1: As OASIS has grown to over 300 organizational members (from technology, government and many end-user industry sectors), increasing the size of the Board will allow for broader representation. Recommended Change #2. Designate the OASIS President position an "Appointed Director," and all other Director positions "Elected Directors." Rationale for Change #2. This change will mean that the person who is hired by the Board of Directors to serve as the full-time President & CEO of OASIS will not have to stand for Board election by members. Please contact your OASIS member representative to provide them with your views on the Bylaws revisions during the ballot period. Should the Bylaws Revisions be approved by the membership, the Board of Directors will need to determine how to fill the three new Board positions, two with terms expiring in July 2004 and one with a term expiring in July 2005. If you would like to provide feedback to the Board on this issue, please ask your organization's OASIS Voting Representative to email oasisboard@lists.oasis-open.org <mailto:oasisboard@lists.oasis-open.org> before 17 September indicating your preference for the Board to take one of these actions: a) Current Board directors use their best judgment to fill the new positions, b) OASIS initiates a special nomination and election process, or c) Other suggestions. Thank you for your continued support of the growing activities at OASIS. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Gannon President & CEO OASIS 630 Boston Road Billerica, MA 01821 USA +1.978.667.5115 x201 (Office) +1.978.761.3546 (Mobile) http://www.oasis-open.org
