Subject: Possible change to TC voting rules - input requested
Dear OASIS Member, The OASIS Board Process Sub-Committee would like your input on a possible rule change regarding TC voting. Currently any person who is a TC member can be a voting member. Since eligibility is determined on an individual basis, not an organizational basis, an organization can have an unlimited number of voters (up to the number of members it has on that TC). Some concerns have been raised about this being fair, being a drain on resources of those organizations, and making it harder to manage quorum. Other concerns have been raised that reducing voting power on TCs could reduce participation. The options we are evaluating include: (a) Leaving the rules as currently written; (b) Capping the total number of votes that may be cast by TC members from a single organization to 1, 2 or 3; (c) Capping the total number of votes that may be cast by TC members from a single organization based on membership class (e.g., sponsors might get 3 versus contributors having 2). The voting rights of individual and associate members in TCs would not be changed by these proposals. Please send your comments to: [oasis-member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org] by 20 November, 2006. Thank you, Jeff Mischkinsky, Chair; for the OASIS Board Process Sub-Committee -- Jeff Mischkinsky jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com Director, Web Services Standards +1(650)506-1975 Consulting Member Technical Staff 500 Oracle Parkway, M/S 4OP9 Oracle Redwood Shores, CA 94065
