Subject: Announcing OASIS 2004 Elections Schedule
|
OASIS is pleased to announce the 2004 schedule for elections for the Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board.
OASIS is a unique organization in that its Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board are openly selected by the member organizations of OASIS. This provides all members the opportunity to share in the leadership and to know that the leadership is representative of the entire marketplace. We look forward to the selection of a Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board that continues to provide the unique leadership and market representation that has made OASIS a global success. We encourage all member organizations to consider making a nomination(s) to ensure their vision of our future is properly represented on the TAB and BoD
The 2004 OASIS elections for the Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board will occur concurrently to maximize the benefit of the time commitment made by members to properly participate in the candidate review and selection process. While the schedule overlaps, the process and candidate requirements differ slightly between the BoD and TAB, so please review the following carefully.
BOARD of DIRECTORS The OASIS Board of Directors is comprised of top-level executives experienced in managing growth and who are dedicated to advancing open standards for interoperability. By serving on the OASIS Board, directors exercise a major impact on the strategic direction of the consortium and on development and implementation of XML-based standards and specifications. Recognized for their contributions by both the technology and user communities, the directors guide OASIS in its mission to drive the development, convergence and adoption of open e-business standards. The OASIS Board is comprised of 10 elected directors, serving two-year terms. The terms are staggered annually to preserve management continuity. Additionally, the OASIS president holds a seat at the Board. See http://www.oasis-open.org/who/bod.php for details.
This year, the following Board of Directors' seats expire:
Edward Cobb, BEA Colin Evans, Intel Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Jeff Mischkinsky, Oracle Laura Walker
TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD The OASIS TAB serves a variety of roles for OASIS. The TAB identifies opportunities and areas for standardization within the consortium that are beneficial for the entire community. TAB members advise the OASIS Board of Directors on the OASIS consortium’s technical agenda and on interoperability and alignment issues: they also, and encourage activities to address those issues.
OASIS TAB members have the technical understanding to articulate relationships between the wide range of current technologies and the strategic vision to help map the future technical direction.
The TAB consists of 10 voting members, eight of whom are “at-large” representatives elected by the OASIS membership for two year terms, with staggered terms for consistency. These are in addition to 2 members representing the Board of Directors and staff. See http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=tab for details.
This year, the following TAB seats expire: Derek Coleman, Hewlett Packard Chet Ensign, Lexis Nexis Jackson He, Intel Krishna Sankar, Cisco Systems
