[xcbf] Nominations for TC Chair to close 1 May

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

     Tyky Aichelen has been nominated to fill the current vacancy as chair 
of the XCBF TC.  Shortly we plan to hold an election in manner described 
below.  Would any other persons wishing to nominate a candidate please do 
so within the next 24 hours.   I plan to close nominations at 1700 Pacific 
Daylight Time (GMT-900) tomorrow, 1 May.  We then plan to conduct a ballot 
on the TC's web pages as noted below.

Best regards
Jamie Clark
Acting interim TC chair

>Proposed election method:
>     1.  I will post a separate XCBF list message later today, proposing 
> to close nominations for chair 24 hours later (that is, tomorrow, 1 May, 
> at close of business Pacific time).  This will allow the inclusion of any 
> other eligible party who may be nominated.
>     2.   I propose to use the TC's automated database ballot, which this 
> TC has used before.
>     3.   I suggest we run the ballot for one week (7 days), starting 2 
> May.  OASIS has a 5 day ballot minimum.
>     Anyone with questions about procedures should feel free to call or
