Dear Zahra,

We are nominating Clemens as a Participant Member Representative for both of the following committees:

  • Steering Committee

  • Specification Committee

Clemens has confirmed his willingness to stand for election and to actively contribute to the governance, strategic direction, and technical standards of the working group.

Below is his biography highlighting his relevant experience:

The Eclipse Dataspace Working Group charter identifies the four committees as the governing bodies to drive various aspects of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled. At this time, the responsibilities of the Technical Advisory and Marketing Committees are managed by the Steering Committee, therefore this election will focus on the Steering and Specification Committees.

  

While the Strategic Members are entitled to a seat on all committees, elections will be conducted for the following positions: Participant Member Representatives - Three

Committer Member Representative - One


Through this email, we are announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold the election on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below:


Nomination Eligibility:


Participant Members While the charter allows for up to three Participant Member representatives based on the current composition, we currently have two members eligible for these seats. The current Participant Members are: Libelium, NOI Techpark


Committer Members

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.


Elections Schedule:


July 6 - July 16 - Call for Nominations

  • Please indicate which committee the nomination is for. You can also nominate for both the committees. 

  • Nominees are strongly encouraged to include a short bio highlighting their relevant experience.

  • If you are nominating someone else, please confirm that they are willing to stand for election.

Note;  Each Member may have at most one individual stand for election to any particular committee. 

Election Process


  • After the nomination period closes, the list of candidates will be confirmed and announced.

  • Ballots will then be distributed to all Participant Member Organizations via email (one ballot per organization) and to Committer Members of projects within the purview of the Working Group. The election will follow the Eclipse Foundation's "Single Transferable Vote" method, as outlined in the Eclipse Foundation Bylaws.

  • The winning candidates will be announced on this mailing list after the voting period closes.
