Yesterday the JA-SIG Election Committee distributed a Call for
Nominations announcing the start of an election cycle for two board
director positions and three uPortal Project Steering Committee
stakeholder positions. Information about the steering committee, the
elections, and other governance-related items can be found at
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/JA-SIG+Governance.
The steering committee model calls for two developers, to be selected by
the group of current committers, to serve on the committee. This
selection isn't governed by a board-defined election process. It's left
up to you to determine how to best choose the two developer
representatives.
The formal election process for directors and stakeholders will take
approximately six weeks, starting with yesterday's announcement. I'd
like to encourage you folks to begin your own process now so that the
developer representatives can be announced concurrently with the
stakeholders and board rep. At that point we should be ready to go with
a first steering committee meeting (which likely will be via
telephone). I will also participate in an ex officio capacity as Acting
JA-SIG Executive Director.
The wiki documentation about the uPortal Project Steering Committee is
fairly skeletal and that's intentional. This is our first experience
with a governing committee of this type, and, while we have planned and
vetted the concept for a number of months, we all are nevertheless going
to be experiencing it for the first time. Our expectation is that it
will need some tweaking along the way, and we regard it as a
work-in-progress to be refined as we collectively figure out what works
and what doesn't.
I would appreciate one of you picking up the ball and taking the next
step. I'll make myself available to answer any questions either by
email or by conference call, and I know the rest of the board will
extend the same offer.
Best of luck with your selection process. We're looking forward to
bringing it all together.
Thanks,
Jonathan
