| [jakarta.ee-wg] Election process and schedule for Jakarta EE working group committees |
All, The Jakarta EE Working Group charter [1] identifies three key committees to drive the various facets of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled: the Steering Committee, the Specification Committee, and the Marketing and Brand Committee. The elected positions are to represent each of the Enterprise Members, Participant Members, 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. The period for nominations will open later this week, and will run through June 4th. 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.
