Microsoft would like to be nominated for all three committees this year as per our Enterprise membership. If individual names are required, I will be running for the steering and marketing/brand committees while my colleague Ed Burns will be running for the specification committee.
Beyond this email, is there anything else we need to do in order to secure our nomination? Do you need the bio/positioning text right now?
The Jakarta EE Working Group Charter identifies three committees to drive various aspects of the working group for which there are annual elected positions to be filled: the Steering Committee, the Specification Committee and the Marketing and Brand Committee.
The elected positions are to represent each of the Enterprise Members, Participant Member and Committer Members. A reminder that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees and thus Strategic member companies do not participate in this election.
Through this email, we are announcing that the Eclipse Foundation will hold elections on behalf of the working group for the following positions using the proposed timetable listed below:
Steering Committee
Two seats allocated for Enterprise Members
One seat allocated for Participant Members
One seat allocated for Committer Members
Specification Committee
Two seats allocated for Enterprise Members
One seat allocated for Participant Members
One seat allocated for Committer Members
Marketing and Brand Committee
Two seats allocated for Enterprise Members
One seat allocated for Participant Members
One seat allocated for Committer Members
For membership classes other than Committer Members, all individuals who are employed by an organization that is a member of that class in the working group may stand for election.The current members of the Jakarta EE Working Group can be viewed here.
Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of the working group are eligible to stand for election. Committers may be considered members by virtue of either a) being employed by a working group corporate member, or b) an individual committer who has executed the Jakarta EE Working Group’s Participation Agreement If you are interested but unsure if you are a committer member, please reach out to us.
