Subject: Nomination recommendation period begins for OASIS IDtrust Member Section Steering Committee
OASIS members: Two seats serving two-year terms on the OASIS Identity and Trusted Infrastructure (IDtrust) Member Section (MS) Steering Committee [1] are open for nomination recommendations. Any IDtrust MS participant may nominate or be nominated as a candidate for the Steering Committee. If you aren't currently active in the IDtrust Member Section, now is a great time to join [2]. The process to join is simple but it must be completed during the nomination period. The IDtrust Steering Committee provides guidance to help the Member Section achieve its goal of promoting greater understanding and adoption of standards-based identity and trusted infrastructure technologies, policies, and practices. The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee are defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [3] and the IDtrust Member Section Rules of Procedure [4]. Each IDtrust 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 Rep 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. NOMINATION & ELECTION SCHEDULE Nominations will be held 2 August - 16 August 2012 The election will be held 17 August - 7 September 2012 NOMINATION PROCESS Any IDtrust MS participant may nominate a candidate via email to: nominations@oasis-open.org 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 participant in the IDtrust Member Section. ELECTION PROCESS The two new Steering Committee members will be selected by the MS Qualified Electors, using the Single Transferable Voting (STV) process [6]. STV considers each voter's ranked preference for candidates, in order to more accurately reflect the wishes of the electorate. Results will be announced immediately after they are tabulated and confirmed. We encourage all IDtrust 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.
