Nominations and Election Process Now Open
Dear OASIS Members,
Three seats on the OASIS Emergency Interoperability (EI) Member Section (MS)
Steering Committee [1] are open for nominations. All EI MS participants are
invited to nominate qualified candidates and/or serve on the Steering
Committee.
OASIS EI accelerates the development, adoption, application, and
implementation of emergency interoperability standards and related work. The
MS endeavors to represent and serve the needs of all constituents, from
practitioners to technology providers including national, international and
multinational oversight agencies.
Any EI MS participant may make nominations to the Steering Committee. If you
aren't currently active in the EI Member Section [2], now is a great time to
join. The process to join is simple, but it must be completed during the
nomination period. Send an email to
member-services@oasis-open.org stating
your intent to join the EI MS.
NOMINATION & ELECTION SCHEDULE
Nominations will be held 21 March - 5 April 2013.
The election will be held 10 April - 26 April 2013.
Both the Nomination and Election periods may be extended in order to afford
the broadest participation on the process. The details may be found in
Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [3].
NOMINATION PROCESS
Any EI MS participant may nominate a candidate via email to:
nominations@oasis-open.org; please state EI SC nomination in the subject
line.
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:
~ Participate in 2-3 hours per month in meetings
~ Prepare and review related document
~ Participate actively in marketing and outreach for the EI MS
~ Represent the Member Section at relevant meetings and events
3. Provide background information and a position statement describing
his/her qualifications and motivations for serving on the Steering
Committee; and
4. Be an EI Member Section Member.
If sufficient candidates are not identified by the nominations closing date,
the nomination period will be extended by two weeks.
ELECTION PROCESS
The three new Steering Committee members will be selected by the MS
Qualified Electors, in a closed ballot. The ballot tabulation process and
quorum requirements are detailed in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy
[3]. Results will be announced immediately after they are tabulated and
confirmed.
Each EI 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 Representative 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.
The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee are
defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [3] and the EI Member Section
Rules of Procedure [4].
We encourage all EI 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.
Regards,
Jane
