The current SC consists of six members and does not comply with the Rules of Procedure, 'The SC shall consist of seven members,' http://www.oasis-telecom.org/RoP, therefore, a Special Election will be held. The Member Section will nominate and elect 'one' Steering Committee Member to serve a 'one' year term. The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee members is defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [1] and the Telecom Member Section Rules of Procedure [2]. Any Telecom participant may nominate or be nominated as a candidate for the Steering Committee. (Any OASIS member may join the Telecom MS at no additional cost [3].) Each Telecom 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. ***Please note, if you are the Primary Representative for your organization and unable to vote during the designated time period, please 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 open 31-July-2008 through 14-August-2008. The election will be held 14-August-2008 through 28-August-2008. NOMINATION PROCESS Any Telecom 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 teleconference bi-monthly, additional support 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 Telecom Member Section. ELECTION PROCESS The 'one' new Steering Committee members will be selected by the Telecom Qualified Electors, using the Single Transferable Voting (STV) process - Scottish Method [4]. 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 Telecom 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. [1] http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ms_policy.php. [2] http://www.oasis-telecom.org/RoP.
