OASIS Board of Directors Election - Please Get Out and Vote!

[Dave Ings <ings@ca.ibm.com>]

Hello again!

In a previous email I requested your consideration and support - and I'd still like to request it if you haven't voted yet.

However - and more importantly - given my belief that OASIS should be a members driven organisation (if you haven't already) I'd like to strongly encourage everyone to "get out" and vote for your preferred candidate(s). Active and broad democratic participation by the membership is *very* important to keeping OASIS vibrant.

Here's the ballot - http://tools.oasis-open.org/election/

Hello!

I'm running as IBM's rep for the OASIS Board of Directors and I'd like to introduce myself and seek your support.

I'm running to replace Michael Winters who is stepping down from the Board and moving on to new opportunities within IBM. I'm an experienced member of the IBM standards team who is very active at both OMG and OASIS. I'm chair of the OASIS BPEL4People TC and I'm leading the BPMN 2.0 effort at OMG. You can read more about my background and platform at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/private/elections/2009board/ings.php

In particular the BPMN 2.0 project has allowed me to develop a good network at OMG that I think could be be an asset to OASIS.

If you've got any questions or suggestions please contact me at ings@ca.ibm.com. I also plan to hold an open house via telecon, during which I'd like to hear your views about what the OASIS Board of Directors should focus on in the years ahead. The open house details are below. If there is interest (just let me know) I will schedule a second open house at a time more suitable for OASIS members who work in the Far East time zones.

I appreciate your consideration ... Dave Ings.
