| [edge-wg] Edge Native Working Group Steering Committee - Election Time |
The Eclipse Edge Native Working Group Charter [1] identifies two key committees to drive the various facets of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled: the Steering Committee and the Marketing and Brand Committee. At the inaugural Steering Committee Meeting held January 23, 2020, it was agreed that the Steering Committee would represent both the Steering Committee and the Marketing and Brand Committee at this time.
The elected positions are to represent the Silver, Gold and Committer Members. Note that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees.
Through this email, we are announcing that the Foundation will hold elections on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below. FYI, this mimics the process used by other working groups as well as the process used by the Eclipse Foundation itself for filling the elected positions on our Board.
All members are encouraged to consider nominating someone for the positions, and self-nominations are welcome. Nominations may be sent to elections@xxxxxxxxxxx.
Once nominations are closed, we will inform all working group members of the candidates, and 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 [2].
The winning candidates will be announced on this mailing list immediately after the elections are concluded.
Election Schedule
Nomination period: February 24 - March 3, 2020 (self nominations are welcome)
