In today's Steering Committe call we took a big step by ratifying the Governance Model that many people have been working on over the last few months to ensure that it matches the need of the Data Portability Project and adheres to some of our core founding principles to: -- be open to anyone who wants to participate in the project -- to reach resolution by consensus -- to have transparency in decisions
This Governance model details the structure of the organization, and the methods by which it reaches official decisions and carries out regular business. Although many hours of review and discussion went into the final model and many people contributed to the document and worked together to resolve differences and clarify items, I want to in particular thanks Steve Greenberg who has lead the Governance Task force over the last few months. The Governance Model can be reviewed here: http://wiki.dataportability.org/display/dpmain/Governance+Model Additional Motions that have been passed by the Steering Committee can be found here: http://wiki.dataportability.org/display/dpmain/Steering+Group+Motions We look forward to seeing you participate in moving the DataPortablity Project forward.
