| Re: [jakarta.ee-wg] Jakarta EE Working Group Elections - Call for Nominations |
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 Members and Committer Members on all three committees. A reminder that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees and thus do not participate in this election.
Through this email, we are announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold elections on behalf of the working group for the following positions using the proposed timetable listed below:
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. You can also find more information about being a Committer Member here.
