The Sparkplug Working Group Charter identifies its Steering Committee and Specification Committee as key governing bodies for which there are annual elected positions to be filled.
While the Strategic Members are appointed to the Steering and Specification Committees, one seat each is allocated to Participant Member Representatives, and Committer Member Representatives.
Through this email, we are announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold elections on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below:
Nomination Eligibility:
Participant Members are: Integration Objects, Litmus Automation, Inc., N3uron Connectivity Systems, SignalFire Telemetry.
Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of the working group. 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 Individual Working Group’s Individual Participation Agreement. If you are interested but unsure if you are a committer member, please reach out to us and/or learn more here.
Time Commitment
In terms of time requirements, most committees meet on a bi-weekly basis for a one-hour conference call.
Election Schedule:
June 2 - 9: Call for Nominations
June 10: Announce Candidates Standing
June 11 - 20: Ballots Distributed (Voting Period)
June 23: Announce Election Results
Nominations must be sent to this mailing list indicating related Committee/Seat. When the nomination period is closed, we will inform the working group of the confirmed candidates providing a short bio for each along with their position statement. At that point, we will distribute ballots via email to those eligible to vote. The election process will follow the Eclipse “Single Transferable Vote” method, as defined in the Eclipse Bylaws. The elected candidates will be announced on this mailing list following the close of the election. All members are encouraged to consider nominating and self-nominations are also more than welcome!”
As we open nominations, we encourage all nominees to include a short bio highlighting their relevant experience and contributions. If you are nominating yourself, please provide this along with your submission. If you are accepting a nomination made by someone else, kindly share a brief bio to help the selection process.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Nominations are now open!.
Best Regards,
Zahra
