Subject: [Fwd: [members] TC Process change to attendance rules]
Note, new abbreviaed attendance rules. Any observer who wishes to become a member should indicate such to Dale Moberg and myself. Thanks. > jamie clark: To: OASIS Members > > Please be advised that the OASIS TC Process has been amended to > simplify the rules for TC attendance and the effects on the voting > rights of TC members. > > After the April 2005 TC Process revisions, TC chairs and members > suggested that the revised rules in Section 2.4 could be made easier > to administer. The OASIS staff and Board of Directors appreciate the > input we received, and the Board directed its TC Process Committee to > simplify the rule. The new text is set out at the bottom of this > message. > Please bear in mind that a TC member who fails to attend TC > meetings (or certain ballots, in the case where those are counted) may > lose his or her *voting* rights as a result. However, the attendance > rule only toggles voting-versus-nonvoting status. Membership in the > TC does not lapse due to absence. > The change is effective today, 12 August 2005, and also will be > posted to the TC Process page at > http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php. > > REVISED TEXT: > > 2.4 TC Membership and Participation > TC membership is per person, not per organization, and is not > transferable from person to person. > > Observer > An Eligible Person may become an Observer of a TC by registering > as an Observer using the electronic collaboration tools provided by > OASIS.
