Re: [oasis-board-comment] Suggestion

Thanks for your comment. The Board will consider this comment as part of our ongoing review of the OASIS Process.

I'd like to ask whether this suggestion is based on an issue that has arisen in practice, your review of the process, or is simply an idea for consideration? I know from my personal experience that the Board works hard to balance simplicity and agility with having rules to address concerns related to transparency and fairness (among other factors) and sometimes there may be more than one way to address a concern.

Thanks

regards, Frederick

Frederick Hirsch
Chair, OASIS Board of Directors

This active participation right now is defined as attending meetings as there is no real way to track contributions on and off the email lists.  The tracking that takes place at meetings is good and should not be changed.  However, I would like to see the addition of tracking on voting for open ballots.  For example, if a member that has voting rights does not vote on an open ballot or may two consecutive open ballots, then they are not participating in the TC and, IMO, should lose their voting rights.
