All, Just got back from vacation, and have been catching up on my emails.
First of all, wish everyone a terrific 2009! Second, congratulations to the new board members (and thank you Mike for making the elections a reality!) Regarding this thread below, my understanding is: a) The executive committee is comprised of 5 board members (The four current officers called out by Scott below + a working group liaison as called out by Mike) b) There is no requirement or distinction between corporate or community members for the executive committee i.e. the executive committee could theoretically be all 5 community board members or all 5 corporate board members. Once we have a board, then it is purely a matter of picking the right people from the board who have the skills and bandwidth to do the job. Did I get that right?

I'm the 5th board member on the current Executive Committee -- in the role of liaison to the working groups. I'm also one of two board-appointed members to the Specifications Council.

Are there any transition plans? All of the officer positions are available ... we have to fill and who is currently in them: Chair - Scott Kveton Vice-Chair - David Recordon Secretary - Martin Atkins Treasurer - Dick Hardt The Executive Committee is made up of these officers and one member of the corporate board and was put together to help execute on things without having the entire board involved in every decision. The transition plan should be easy enough. Bill Washburn has cooked up a transition plan for the ED (once we figure out what we're doing there) and I've been involved in the finances enough to be able to help with that as well. We'll want to make sure we transition the committees appropriately ... I don't think there is any requirement that committees be made up or chaired by board members but we'll want to make sure that everything is taken care of. - Scott _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board
