Changes to the Steering Committee Election Process

OSLC Steering Committee and Member Section Members,

The Member Section Policy,[1] which governs the activities of the Member Section in coordination with your Rules of Procedure document, was recently revised by the Board of Directors with input from staff and all the Steering Committees.

A significant change coming from this revision is a schedule change and a simplification in the process to elect your Steering Committee.

While your SC elections were previously held in July, all SC elections will now be held in September. See table below for the revised seat expirations. Note that your Member Section WILL NOT be holding an election this September, having just completed your annual election in July.

When nominations do open for your group next September I will announce the number of seats eligible for nomination. *** Nominations WILL CLOSE 14 days later with no extensions.*** If the number of candidates does not exceed the number of open seats at that time, staff will announce the candidates as selected without a balloting process--the policy removes balloting in that circumstance because it cannot effect the outcome.

Please take a few moments to review the new policy consider how it effects your group and share any questions or concerns. Most important -- please pay attention to the nomination process as there will not be any extensions or means to accommodate late-comers.

Scott...
