All,
Apologies for the
resend. There were a few instances of “2008” that needed to be
replaced with “2009”. Thank you to those that pointed out my error.
The following are the
key dates for the 2009 elections for your representatives on the Eclipse
Foundation Board of Directors.
As of this moment,
there will be five elected committer representatives and five elected add-in
provider representatives on next year's board. However, under our Bylaws, the
final determination will be made based on the total number of strategic members
as of February 1, 2009.
The terms of office
are from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
