Subject: Nominations open for OASIS Distinguished Contributors Award
Members: OASIS recognizes outstanding members each year through the distinguished Contributor Award program. All OASIS members are eligible and invited to submit nominations. The "OASIS Distinguished Contributor" award is presented annually to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement based on the following criteria: 1. Introduction of new work Distinguished Contributors are evangelists of the OASIS open standards process. They identify gaps where new activities and standards are needed and encourage participation in our consortium. 2. Influence and visibility in the industry Distinguished Contributors are recognized as leaders and experts in their fields by peers, the media, and the industry. Their influence improves the quality of OASIS work and inspires other members to emulate them. 3. Ability to build consensus Distinguished Contributors model and facilitate open, inclusive standards-making, ensuring that all stakeholders are heard and that technical work is advanced through collaboration. 4. Leadership and service Distinguished Contributors serve in leadership and influential roles in OASIS committees and projects. Their participation substantially raises the quality and breadth of OASIS technical work. HOW ARE DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTORS NOMINATED? The 2011 nomination period will extend to 18 April. Any OASIS Member, Technical Committee, or Member Section may nominate a candidate by sending email to member-services@oasis-open.org. Each nomination should include a brief statement describing the candidate's achievements in relation to the above four criteria. Nominations will be treated as staff-confidential; candidate names will not be publicized unless they are selected to receive the award. Final selection will be made by staff and announced as soon as deliberations are complete. PROGRAM DETAILS: Award: Recipients will receive a certificate, and their photos and profiles will appear on the OASIS web site. Individual-level memberships for life will be granted to those who qualify. Terms: OASIS Distinguished Contributor status is held in perpetuity, similar to a "Lifetime Achievement Award" or "Hall of Fame". Thus, a person will not be named as an OASIS Distinguished Contributor more than once.
