> Subject: Emergency Management TC IPR Transition Ballot
>
> To: Those OASIS member voting representatives and individual
> members who are voting "TC Qualified Members" for the
> Emergency Management TC
>
> As you probably know, OASIS adopted revisions to our IPR
> Policy effective on 15 April 2005.[1] TCs formed before that
> date continue to operate under the old ("legacy") policy.
> However, they may convert to the new policy by making a
> "transition" under the terms of the OASIS IPR Transition
> Policy [2], by the specific voting procedure described in the
> transition policy.
>
> The OASIS Emergency Management TC has notified OASIS staff
> that it successfully conducted a Transition Request vote
> under the IPR Transition Policy, to select the "RF/RAND" IPR
> Mode. Accordingly, I am opening a Transition Approval Ballot,
> in which the primary representatives of all voting members of
> the committee may cast a ballot. A list of the current TC
> voting members, as of the date of the Transition Request, is
> attached. In this ballot, which will run for 14 days, the TC
> Qualified Members [3] each may cast only a single vote. The
> ballot will allow for YES, NO, or ABSTAIN votes. Approval of
> a Transition Approval Ballot requires:
> (i) a minimum of 50% of all TC Qualified Members to vote,
> (ii) no NO votes cast, and
> (iii) one or more YES votes.
>
> The ballot has opened and can be seen at [4]. Please note,
> for organizational members, it is the primary OASIS
> representative who votes, so if you are not a TC member, you
> may wish to consult your organization's active TC members
> regarding this vote.
>
> We will notify the Emergency Management TC list and the
> voting "TC Qualified Members" of the results.
