Notification
of T11 letter ballot jeopardy, August 2009 |
As Chairman of T11, I am informing by email the following voting member
organizations that the letter balloting records of Technical Committee T11 show
that none of the designated representatives below have cast a vote in at least
two of the last three non-accelerated letter ballots.
Those ballots were:
FC-LS-2, closed 7/18/2009
FC-SB-4, closed 5/21/2009
FC-IFR, closed 5/21/2009
The following companies are therefore in jeopardy of losing their voting
membership if they do not vote on the next letter ballot:

Unless at least one of the designated representatives casts a vote in the next
non-accelerated letter ballot, the organization will lose voting membership
status in T11, and the member will be changed to Advisory Member. You are
permitted to abstain.
A letter ballot is announced to all members using the e-mail address on file on
the T11 website at www.t11.org. Please make sure your address information is up
to date. If you have changed your e-mail address and have lost your T11
password, you may contact any officer for assistance in correcting your address
and recovering your password.
Because some spam filters have been capturing the reminder e-mails,an additional broadcast e-mail warning of the ballots
has been provided on the T11.2 and T11.3 general e-mail reflectors.
Loss of voting membership will not affect the subscription mailings of
those representatives, only the voting privileges of the organization.
For your reference, the rules under which T11 and its subgroups operate, which
are documented in the INCITS/RD-2 (InterNational
Committee for Information Technology Standards, Organization, Rules and
Procedures of INCITS), available at http://www.incits.org/rd2/in081453.pdf,
state the following:
Members of the Technical Committees, TGs, and SGS shall be terminated under the following
conditions:
a) The principal and all alternate
representative(s) shall be warned in writing upon failure of the organization
to:
1. attend two out of three
successive meetings, in that case the membership shall be terminated if not
represented at the next meeting; or
2. return two out of three successive non accelerated letter ballots if
the next non accelerated letter ballot (identified by LB number) after the
warning is not returned.
An organization fails to
perform an above action when none of the organization's representatives
performs the actions.
An organization which has failed to perform the above actions, but has paid the
appropriate service fees, shall be converted to an advisory membership in the
TC, TG or SG for the remainder of the membership year. During this
period, the organization may request reinstatement of voting rights following
the procedures shown in Section 4.2.3.1.3.
b) Voting and advisory memberships shall be canceled by the INCITS
Secretariat for failure to pay appropriate service fees within the time
specified by the INCITS Secretariat.
TCs, TGs,
and SGs may vote to continue the membership despite
failure of the member to comply with the membership criteria in a) above.
An organization that has had
its voting membership terminated may re-establish membership in accordance with
sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. If this membership is re-established within the
same billing period and the organization has paid its fee, no new service fee
shall be assessed.
Membership may be gained or regained by the following procedure
documented in the RD-2:
Voting membership in TCs, TGs, and SGs
is open to all directly and materially affected parties that meet attendance
and voting requirements and pay the designated service fee(s).
A representative of a prospective voting member shall initially attend a
meeting of the TC, TG, or SG without voting privileges and reaffirm interest in
the work of the TC, TG, or SG. Voting privileges become effective with
attendance at one of the next two successive meetings and receipt by the
Secretariat of the applicable fees for the membership year. For a new subgroup,
all attendees at the formation meeting or second meeting shall be considered
voting members, subject to the rules in Section 4.2.3.2.
An organization with voting membership shall appoint one and only one principal
representative and may appoint one or more alternate representatives.
In order to comply with
ANSI requirements, while all parties may participate in the discussion, only
those organizations domiciled in the
Your participation in the work of T11 has been appreciated by all
concerned. We look forward to your continued participation.
