The Sparkplug Working Group Charter identifies the
various committees that drive the facets of the working group for which there
are elected positions to be filled.
In the case of
Sparkplug, the elected positions are for the Participant Members for which
there is one seat to be elected for the Steering Committee and one seat for the
Specification Committee. Note that Strategic Members each have a representative
appointed to these committees.
Through this email, we are announcing the Eclipse
Foundation will hold an election on behalf of the working group using the
proposed timetable listed below. This mimics the process used by other working
groups as well as the Eclipse Foundation itself for filling elected positions
on our Board.
All members are encouraged to consider nominating
someone from a Participant Member for the positions and self-nominations are
more than welcome. The Participant Members of the working group are:
Flow Software, Inc
HiveMQ GmbH
Intel Corporation
SignalFire Telemetry
The nomination period is now open and runs until
May 21, 2021.
Nominations should be sent to this mailing list using the appropriate subject
lines below:
Sparkplug Steering Committee - Participant
Nomination
Sparkplug Specification Committee - Participant
Nomination
Once nominations are closed, we will inform the
working group of the confirmed candidates standing. Typically, we
encourage all candidates to provide a short bio including their position
statement. At that point, we will distribute ballots via email to those
eligible to vote. The election process will follow the Eclipse “Single
Transferable Vote” method, as defined in the Eclipse Bylaws.
The winning candidate will be announced on this
mailing list shortly after close of election.
