2008 Board and TAB Elections Open

["Scott McGrath" <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS Members,

The 2008 Board and TAB election ballots are now open. As a member of OASIS,
you have input in the review and election of our Board of Directors and
Technical Advisory Board (TAB). I encourage you to take advantage of this
opportunity and help select the leaders who will hold a Board and TAB seat
until 2010.  The ballot closes 19 June.

You and your fellow members of OASIS have nominated a very impressive slate
of candidates from which you can choose. The candidates provide a great
variety of perspectives from professor to CEO, candidates for reelection and
candidates with new points of view.  We have candidates from several
continents, with equally diverse technical expertise.  All the candidates
deserve your review and consideration.

Primary Contacts and alternate Voting Contacts can access the Board ballot
directly at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=1471 
and the TAB ballot at:

All OASIS members may review the Board candidates at
http://www.oasis-open.org/private/elections/2008board/ and the TAB
candidates at http://www.oasis-open.org/private/elections/2008tab/  Your
user name and password will be required.  If you've lost or forgotten your
password, go to http://www.oasis-open.org/kmembership_info/request_password/


If you work for a Sponsor or Contributor member and are not the Primary or
Voting contact representative for your organization, you should share your
views on the candidates with your Primary and Voting contact.  You may find
your contacts at http://www.oasis-open.org/kmembers/person/roster/  

All members can share their views on the candidates and OASIS election
process by email to the publicly archived Member Discuss list 
oasis-member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org .  All members may post freely to
that mail list and can subscribe to receive the list mail.  See 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/oasis-member-discuss/  

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions as we move through this year's
elections.  Your participation is important and we are here to help you
through that.
