Subject: 2011 Board and TAB Nomination and Election Schedule

The nomination and election schedule has been posted to http://www.oasis-open.org/who/election_process.php Every member can play an important role in this process, so please takes some time to review the process and plan your participation. OASIS is a unique organization in that its Board of Directors (BoD) and Technical Advisory Board (TAB) are openly selected by the member organizations of OASIS.

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. OASIS elections for the Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Board occur concurrently to maximize the benefit of the time commitment made by members to properly participate in the candidate review and selection process. The process and candidate requirements differ slightly between the BoD and TAB, so please carefully review the following http://www.oasis-open.org/who/election_process.php.
