| [sdv-wg] Invitation to Join the SDV Working Group’s Inaugural Steering Committee Meeting - March 3, 2022 |
Dear Community:
It is with great pleasure that we announce the SDV Working Group has successfully passed its 14 Day Community Review period (completed February 16, 2022) as per the Eclipse Foundation Working Group Process. As a result of passing this milestone and with the Eclipse Foundation's Executive’s Director approval, we are now able to formally create the SDV Working Group!
The next step is to stand up the Steering Committee. By way of this email we invite all members of the working group to the Initial Steering Committee Meeting on March 3, 2022, at 5 pm CET. In this first Steering Committee meeting, the appointed representatives of the Strategic Members will constitute the Steering Committee; however, all members of the working group (i.e., those organizations that have completed executing the SDV Participation Agreement) are encouraged to attend as observers until such a time when elected seats can be filled as per the Charter.
A formal agenda and zoom link will follow, but a primary focus of the meeting will be to explain the role of the Steering Committee and the overall working group governance structure. The Steering Committee members will also be asked to formally approve the Charter.
For members already enrolled, you will need to confirm who your representative will be for the meeting in order to ensure they are included on the invitation. If your organization is not yet a member but would like to join the first Steering Committee call, you must first hold membership with the Eclipse Foundation and have executed the SDV Working Group Participation Agreement no later than March 1, 2022. Our online Membership Portal is where you can get started quickly with the application and enrollment process. Please note the cutoff date to be part of the meeting is March 2, 2022. We look forward to hosting all members of the working group at this initial meeting.
Also, as a reminder, we intend to put out a press release on March 3, 2022, that will include quotes of the founding members in the working group. The cut off date to complete your Participation Agreement and to be included in this release is no later than February 28, 2022.
If there are any questions concerning enrollment and/or press release, please feel free to reach out to Michael Plagge directly (in cc). Michael should also be contacted regarding the required representative information.
Best Regards,
