Scott, This automatic extension of the nomination period is nonsense and a waste of everyone’s time. (Especially yours!). What has to be done to change this in the future?

Nominations closed yesterday with all four expiring SC members seeking reelection. The Member Section Policy requires extending nominations one time when nominations do not create a contested ballot. Therefore nomination will be extended until 28 January to accommodate any other members who wish to join the process. the nomination process is described below. The Steering committee ballot will open on 29 January without further delay. On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 2:57 PM, Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org> wrote: OASIS members:
Five seats serving a two-year term on the OASIS WS-I Member Section (MS) [1] Steering Committee are open for nomination. The seats expiring this year are held by MikeDeNicola (Fujitsu), Doug Davis (IBM), and Micah Hainline (AsynchronySolutions) and Gershon Janssen The winners of this election will join Joel Fleck (HP), Anish Karmarkar (Oracle), Prasad Yendluri (Software AG), and Ram Jeyaraman(Microsoft) and will hold their seats until December 2015.
Any WS-I MS participant may make nominations to the Steering Committee. However, only Member Section Members may be a candidate and nominees employed by organizations already represented on the WS-I Steering Committee are not eligible.
If you aren't currently active in the WS-I Member Section [2], now is a great time to join. The process to join is simple but it must be completed during the nomination period. Send an email to member-services@oasis-open.org stating your intent to join the WS-I MS.
NOMINATION & ELECTION SCHEDULE
Nominations will be held 30 December - 14 January 2014
The election will be held 15 January - 29 January 2014
Both the Nomination and Election periods may be extended in order to afford the broadest participation on the process. The details may be found in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [3].
NOMINATION PROCESS
Any WS-I MS participant may nominate a candidate via email to:nominations@oasis-open.org; please state WS-I SC nomination' in the subject line.
Prior to being confirmed as a candidate, each nominee must:
1. Accept the nomination
2. Confirm his/her ability to meet the time commitments of the position (participation in a one hour teleconference each month, promote the work of the Member Section, additional outreach activities as needed);
3. Provide background information and a position statement describing his/her qualifications and motivations for serving on the Steering Committee; and
4. Be a WS-I Member Section Member.
ELECTION PROCESS
The five new Steering Committee members will be selected by the MS Qualified Electors, in a closed ballot. The ballot tabulation process and quorum requirements are detailed in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [3].
Results will be announced immediately after they are tabulated and confirmed. Each WS-I MS Supporting Entity has one Qualified Elector who casts the single vote on behalf of his/her organization. Unless otherwise designated, the organization's Primary Representative serves as the Qualified Elector. The Primary Representative may defer the voting member role to another employee member by sending an email to member-services@oasis-open.org; any such change should be in place before the ballot is cast.
The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee are defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [3] and the WS-I Member Section Rules of Procedure [4].
We encourage all WS-I MS participants to consider serving on the Steering Committee. Please contact (member-services@oasis-open.org) with any questions you might have regarding this process.
Regards,
Scott
