The MicroProfile Working Group Charter identifies the Steering Committee will drive the various facets of the working group for which there is an elected position to be filled.
In the case of MicroProfile, the elected position is for a Committer Member Representative for which there is one seat. Additionally, the MicroProfile Steering Committee and Specification Committee are combined into a single committee called Steering Committee. Note that Corporate Members each have one representative appointed to the Steering Committee.
Through this email, we are announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold an election on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below as per the Steering Committee’s request. This mimics the process used by other working groups as well as the Eclipse Foundation itself for filling elected positions on our Board.
All members are encouraged to consider nominating a Committer Member for the positions, and self-nominations are more than welcome. Nominations should be sent to this mailing list with the subject line of “MicroProfile Working Group Steering Committee - Committer Member Election”.
Once nominations are 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 winning candidate will be announced on this mailing list following the close of the election.
Election Schedule:
December 7-10: Call for Nominations (self nominations are welcome)
December 14: Announce Candidates Standing (with short bio)
December 15-21: Ballots Created/Sent
December 22: Announce Committer Member Representative
Best Regards,
