Greetings IDtrust Member Section Members,
The IDtrust Member Section Steering Committee Election is now open; voting closes 11:45 PM EDT on 12-May-2008.
This year, the Member Section will elect two new Steering Committee members to fill two-year terms and one member to serve a one year (completing the term of a retiring Steering Committee member). The two candidates receiving the highest ranked votes will each serve two-year terms. The candidate receiving the third highest ranked votes will serve a one-year term.
Each IDtrust Supporting Entity has one Qualified Elector who casts the single vote on behalf of his/her organization. Unless otherwise designated, the organization's Primary Rep serves as the Qualified Elector, http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/idtrust-ms/members/roster.php. Each Supporting Entity has one vote, which will be accepted from the Voting Member shown on the roster. The default Voting Member is the Supporting
Entity's Primary Contact -- the Primary may defer the voting member role to another employee member by an email to member-services@oasis-open.org, any such change should be in place before the ballot is cast.
To insure that all members and Observers in this member section understand the election process, the voting instructions are as follows:
Cast your vote by email to sc-election@oasis-open.org, your message should be your ranked preference for the candidates. Start with 1, continuing until you have no further preference for the remaining candidates.
1 First Candidate name
2 Second Choice Candidate name
3 Third Choice Candidate name
Your candidates are alphanumerically listed:
John Bradley
June Leung
Anil Saldhana
The candidate profiles may be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/idtrust-ms/documents.php, located in the ‘2008 IDtrust Steering Committee Candidates’ folder.
The voting will be by email, with the results tallied via the Single Transferable Voting (STV) - Scottish Method.
See http://stv.sourceforge.net/Details.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singel_transferable_vote.
STV considers your ranked preference for candidates in order to more accurately reflect the wishes of the electorate. In summary, as candidates who you voted for as a top choice win, their excess votes (over what was needed to win) are transferred according to your preferences.
Remember, vote by email to sc-election@oasis-open.org. Deadline is 11:45 PM EDT on 12-May-2008.
Feel free to ask any questions about the process.
Best regards,
Dee Schur
