Re: [oniro-wg] 2023 Oniro Working Group Elections Coming Soon!

[Amit Kucheria <amit.kucheria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sharon, Davide,

I know you mentioned no action needed at this time, but I wanted to
clarify my intention to step down from all roles in the Oniro project
for this election due to lack of time.

So we should definitely look to replace me as Project Lead as well as
the Steering Committee Committer member. If actions are needed on my
end to hand over these roles, please let me know.

Regards,
Amit

In the case of the Oniro Working Group Charter, it indicates there are three committees each with elected positions to represent each of the Gold, Silver and Committer Members. Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees, and thus Strategic member companies do not participate in this election.
