Unless at least one of the designated representatives is
present at the next T11.2 Plenary meeting, the member will lose voting
membership status in T11.2, and the status of the membership will be changed
from Voting to Advisory. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday April
1, 2010 in Pasadena, CA. Information about the
meeting is available under the "meetings" button at www.t11.org.
Loss of membership will not affect the subscription mailings of those
representatives, only the voting privileges of the organization.
Note that marking your presence on the designated electronic attendance tool is
the only determinant of attendance at a plenary meeting of T11 or one of its
Task Groups. Your particular attendance pattern may result in jeopardy
before two consecutive meetings.
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), dated 9/17/2007, state the following:
4.2.4.2 Technical Committees, TGs
and SGs
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 action.
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 item 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 accessed.
Membership may be gained or regained by the following
procedure documented in the RD-2:
4.2.3.1.4 TCs, TGs, and SGs
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 U.S. may vote to
establish a U.S. position on TAG matters.
The full RD-2 is available
as a web document from www.incits.org
Your participation in the work of T11 has been
appreciated by all concerned. We look forward to your continued
participation in the future.

Sincerely,
Tom Palkert,
T11.2 Chair
