[Fiware-associate-member] IMPORTANT: Election of members of the FIWARE Technical Steering Committee

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear member representative,

   According to the FIWARE bylaws 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/bylaws/>, The FIWARE TSC is the body 
where technical decisions are taken and follows up on the evolution of 
the different FIWARE components (incubated or consolidated).  Also where 
technical roadmap discussions take place.  The FIWARE Technical Steering 
Committee (TSC) shall be renewed on a yearly basis and this mail is to 
report on progress of the current elections and also give you the chance 
to participate and candidate for some seats in this important FIWARE 
Community governance body.    All information about the FIWARE TSC can 
be found on this web page <https://www.fiware.org/governance/tsc/>.

   The FIWARE TSC is composed by:

  * **One representative of each Platinum Member (PM)**
  * ******Two representatives of each FIWARE Chapter, elected by the
    corresponding FIWARE Chapter Active Contributors**
  * **Remarkable Individual Members elected by the whole group of
    Chapter Active Contributors, up to one third of the number of
    Chapter Leaders plus PM representatives.**

   Election of FIWARE TSC seats take place in two rounds:

  * First round, representatives of FIWARE Chapters are elected
  * Second round, remarkable individuals are elected

   The first step in the election process has been completed with the 
election of representatives of the several FIWARE Chapters. Only active 
contributors to each chapter can present their candidatures to these seats.

   Since we have 7 Platinum members and 12x2 representatives from 
chapters, we would have up to 10 = (7 + 24) / 3 seats for remarkable 
individuals to cover.

   This will take place in two steps:

    1. Reception of Candidatures:

      o If you wish to candidate for a seat, please add your candidature
        to this document
        <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fBTm0pK-FoD0o-jLaxPxKAoSN2VC-gIc1Hp6uQ0bff4/edit?usp=sharing>.  
        As you will see, there is a space for you to provide a pitch. 
        You can check the list of candidates to remarkable individuals

        to check some of the pitches already there as case examples.
      o Deadline for reception of candidatures: Tuesday September 19th,
        12:00 CET

    2. Election among candidates:

      o A process will be put in place for FIWARE Chapter Active
        Contributors to cast their vote on candidatures if there are
        more candidates that available seats.  This process will be
        kicked-off on September 19th 15:00 CET
      o Deadline for voting (if voting is required): Sunday September
        24th, EOD


   The final list of FIWARE TSC members will be announced during the 
week of September 25th.

   Note that election of remarkable individuals is open to any 
individual member of the FIWARE Foundation, despite voting on candidates 
is limited to FIWARE Chapter Active Contributors. They are expected to 
be candidates that meet merits in terms of relevant contribution to 
FIWARE and able to contribute to technical discussions at the FIWARE 
TSC.    Note that candidates should bear in mind that the FIWARE TSC 
members are expected to meet every Monday from 10:30 to 12:30 CET 
(Central European Time).  We expect FIWARE TSC members to join regularly 
and participate actively in the discussions.    Therefore, abstain to 
candidate if you are not able to commit your time.  Besides, FIWARE TSC 
members are expected to participate as individual and see for the 
interest of FIWARE and the FIWARE Community, not representing the 
interest of the organization they work for. In this respect, as 
individual FIWARE Foundation members they are committed to follow the 
FIWARE Code of Conduct 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/code-of-conduct/> (note that you may 
run as candidate even if you are not yet individual member but you have 
to become individual member to make your election valid).

   Last but not least, I would like to take advantage to remind that you 
don't need to be FIWARE TSC member to attend its meetings.  Everyone in 
the FIWARE Community is welcome to join the FIWARE TSC meetings since 
they are public.  This is always a great opportunity to follow-up on 
progress of the different FIWARE components and roadmap plans.  You can 
find all the minutes of previous FIWARE TSCs and information how to 
connect here
