OASIS Open CSA Member Section Members,

The election process to select 'four' Open CSA Member Section Steering Committee Members to serve the term expiring June 2012 has begun.

Each Open CSA 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.

Please note, if you are the Primary Representative for your organization and unable to vote during the designated time period, please defer the voting member role to another employee member by sending an email to memb...@oasis-open.org, any such change should be in place before the ballot is cast.

ELECTION SCHEDULE:

The election will be held 03-June-2010 through 18-June-2010.

ELECTION PROCESS:

The election will be decided by using the Single Transferable Voting (STV) process - Scottish Method, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote.

STV considers each voter's ranked preference for candidates, in order to more accurately reflect

the wishes of the electorate. Cast your vote by email to sc-e...@oasis-open.org.

Start with 1, continuing until you have no further preference for the remaining candidates.

1 First Candidate name 2 Second Candidate name 3 Third Candidate name 4 Fourth Candidate name

Your candidates are alphanumerically listed:

1. David Burke 2. Bob Freund 3. Mike Kaiser 4. Mark Little

The candidate bio may be found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/documents.php, located in the '2010 Steering Committee Candidates' folder.

We encourage all Open CSA MS members to consider serving on the Steering Committee. Please contact (memb...@oasis-open.org) with any questions you might have regarding this process.

Remember, vote by email to sc-e...@oasis-open.org. Deadline is 5:00 PM EDT on 18 June 2010.

I am happy to answer any questions. Thank you in advance for your participation.
