[Ccsds-omg-liaison] Nominations for OMG's Board of Directors

[Jürgen Boldt]

Dear OMG Member representative,


I am sending this email on behalf of Mr. Hoffman, OMG's Chairman and CEO.

At the end of this calendar year, several Director seats will be vacant.

Under the current Bylaws, the Board's Nominating Committee now must consider a potential slate of nominations for these seats for consideration by the full Board of Directors during the meetings of these committees in September.

Board representation is available on an equal basis to all member companies of the Contributing, Domain and Platform membership levels, and all board terms rotate on a three-year basis.  However, please note that the Board is not required to fill any or all of the open seats, and in general does not in fact fill all of the available seats.

Please note that the Bylaws include a series of criteria for Board membership selection to be used as objective measures by the Board's Nominating Committee in selecting candidates for Board membership.  These criteria are intended to ensure that the Board remains representative of the Group as a whole and supportive of the goals and Adopted Technologies of the OMG.  While in general companies will not be expected to meet all of these measures in full, the Nominating Committee is charged with maximizing Board involvement with the Group by applying the criteria.  The selection measurement criteria include checking that the company maintains

- attendance at four out of every five consecutive OMG meeting weeks
- a place on at least one Task Force voting list
- a record of submission to at least one adoption process in the last two years
- an elected chair position (TF, SIG, SC or AB)
- demonstrated public support of the Adopted Technologies of the Group (e.g., via press releases & advertising).

In addition, to keep its seat, a member company must be represented at at least two of every three consecutive Board of Directors meetings.

The Nominating Committee of the Board now requests representatives of member companies of the Contributing, Platform and Domain membership levels which are interested in seats on the OMG Board of Directors to send a letter noting same to me as soon as possible, including biographical information about the candidate, outlining especially the member company's commitment to OMG under the criteria above.  As outlined above, the Nominating Committee will meet to make its recommendations to the OMG Board of Directors, and the full Board will make its decision the same day.

Finally, please note that in every Director election there is a surfeit of well-qualified candidates available, and failure to be elected to a Director's seat should not be in any way construed as a negative reflection on the candidate.

If your organization is interested in being a candidate for one of these open Board seats, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know of your interest. Nomination deadline is August 26th, 2024.

Thank you, and best regards,



-Juergen
