RE: LegalXML Member Section Steering Committee Nominations due by 8 October
Dear Laurel,
I have announced the issue every time in the both TCs. The real
problem is to convince people one by one with personal email, in
particular it is necessary to explain them the duties and the
effort.
I am in contact with the people of the Library of Congress and
also with the European Parliament.
I have sent to both several emails in the last month.
They will promised me to return an answer in a week but the
administrative decision and the hierarchy management need time.
I suggest to wait an official negative answer from those two big
institutions and then to proceed, just for not risking to have
obtained an important endorsement and than not be able to
implement it.
Yours,
Monica

Can we send an
inquiry to the LegalDocML, LegalRuleML and possibly-to-be
citation parties to see if anyone is interested? That might
lead us to conclude which path to follow and we can settle
on it in the next SC meeting.

Hi StC members,

I have 1
nominee for the two seats and I have extended 1 time and did
not get another nominee. I will proceed with the election to
get the nominee seated properly. Then that StC needs to make
one of the choices, see MS Policy,
https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/member-sections  , Section 5.5

Any quorate
ballot that does not fill all available seats will be
addressed at the first meeting following the ballot closure.
The Steering Committee must vote one of the following
options:
~ To accept the
results and automatically reduce the size of the Steering
Committee and amend the ROP without further action required
by the Steering Committee or OASIS Board.
~ To initiate a
nomination period leading to a Special Election.
~ Leave any
open seats to be filled at the next annual election.

When is the
next StC meeting? Scott and I need to be on the call to
discuss a few items.

Thank you for
your help through this process Jim!
Regards,
Dee

Dee,

The LegalXML
Steering Committee met today and we are concerned that we
still may not have enough candidates for the 2 at large
seats on the Steering Committee.  If we do not have
sufficient candidates by the end of today,  what is the
recommended procedure?

  Thanks,

Jim

OASIS members:

Two ‘At-large’ seats serving a one year term on the OASIS LegalXML Member Section (MS) [1] Steering Committee are open for nomination. The two ‘At-large’ Steering Committee members will join Robert O’Brien, Laurel Shifrin (LexisNexis), and Adam Wyner (University of Aberdeen).

Any LegalXML MS participant may make nominations to the Steering Committee.   However, only Member Section Members may be a candidate and nominees employed by organizations already represented on the LegalXML Steering Committee are not eligible. If you aren't currently active in the LegalXML Member Section [2], now is a great time to join. The process to join is simple but it must be completed during the nomination period. Send an email to

stating your intent to join the LegalXML MS.

NOMINATION & ELECTION SCHEDULE

Nominations will be held 6 th  of September – 19 th  of September 2013
The election will be held 23 rd  of September – 6 th  of October 2013

Both the Nomination and Election periods may be extended in order to afford the broadest participation on the process.  The details may be found in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [3].

NOMINATION PROCESS

Any LegalXML MS participant may nominate a candidate via email to:

; please state 'LegalXML SC nomination' in the subject line.

Prior to being confirmed as a candidate, each nominee must:

3. Provide background information and a position statement describing his/her qualifications and motivations for serving on the Steering
Committee;

4. Be an LegalXML Member Section Member.

If sufficient candidates are not identified by the nominations closing date, the nomination period will be extended by two weeks.

ELECTION PROCESS

The two new Steering Committee members will be selected by the MS Qualified Electors, in a closed ballot. The ballot tabulation process and quorum requirements are detailed in Section 5.5 of the Member Section Policy [3]. Results will be announced immediately after they are tabulated and confirmed. Each LegalXML MS Supporting Entity has one Qualified Elector who casts the single vote on behalf of his/her organization. Unless otherwise designated, the organization's Primary Representative serves as the Qualified Elector. The Primary Representative may defer the voting member role to another employee member by sending an email to

;  any such change should be in place before the ballot is cast.

The nomination and election procedures for the Steering Committee are defined by the OASIS Member Section Policy [3] and the LegalXML Member Section Rules of Procedure [4].

We encourage all LegalXML MS participants to consider serving on the Steering Committee. Please contact (

) with any questions you might have regarding this process.
