Subject: A message from Board Candidate Jeff Mischkinsky
Voting Reps,
The following is a message from Board Candidate Jeff Mischkinsky.
Thanks,
Scott… _________________________________ Dear OASIS Board of Directors Voters,
Just in case you've put off making that tough decision I'd like to provide you with a friendly reminder that there are only 13 hours left to vote (or change your ballot if you inadvertently forgot to check my box :-) in the OASIS Board of Directors special election.
While I'm at it, (you knew there'd be a short pitch ;-) I'd like to emphasize a few of the key points you can find in my complete statement at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/download.php/3848/mischkinsky.html
I, and my company, bring to the table a depth of experience in the standards world. We believe that the industry is served best when companies cooperate on developing standards and compete on implementations. To make OASIS an even better place to achieve this objective, if elected to the OASIS Board, we would focus on:
o Adding a Royalty-Free IPR option - Oracle favors forums where contributions are royalty free unless the contributors indicate otherwise at the time that they make a contribution. We value our patent portfolio and understand how some intellectual property is so fundamental to a business that it can not be offered to competitors without charge. However, we believe that TC participants should be allowed to make rational business decisions as to whether such technology is so valuable to their efforts that it must be incorporated with full knowledge of future costs.
o TC support - Fine-tuning the organizational support for the nuts and bolts of running TC's
o Improving board/member communication and increasing membership decision-making opportunities
o Coordinating the increasing amount of web services activity
Regardless of your choice, I urge you to vote before the Monday 27 October 11:30 pm eastern deadline so that we elect directors who are representative of the entire OASIS electorate.
Cheers, Jeff Mischkinsky Jeff Mischkinsky jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com Consulting Member Technical Staff +1(650)506-1975 Director, Web Services Standards 500 Oracle Parkway M/S 4OP9 Oracle Corporation Redwood Shores, CA 94065
