[Fiware-chapter-active-contributors] IMPORTANT: Election of "remarkable individuals" participating in the FIWARE Technical Steering Committee

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear all,

   According to the FIWARE bylaws 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/bylaws/>, The FIWARE Technical 
Steering Committee (TSC) is the body where technical decisions are taken 
and evolution of the different FIWARE components (incubated or 
consolidated) is followed up.  It is also where technical roadmap 
discussions take place, eventually leading to creation of FIWARE 
Technical Roadmap Working Groups.

   The FIWARE TSC is renewed on a yearly basis and 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.**

**The full list of FIWARE Chapter Active Contributors can be found here 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V6Z9efLoZGubjudO8KQHtd6zVVPyQqqK13CH8WQrLS8/edit?usp=sharing>.

   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.   This is a 
process organized within each chapter. Election of these seats has been 
completed and results can be found in the table below:

   Now, it comes the time for election of remarkable individuals.  Up to 
10 seats will be completed through this process.

   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 the following table
        <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gceYwU85biHoEsZNZU5zNZQRbSWdNtzO1TMaXSOUM1E/edit?usp=sharing>.  
        As you will see, there is a space for you to provide an
        "elevator pitch".  You can take as reference the table with the
        pitch of candidates last year
        <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rBMJM8muHzkcE7CEYhZPd_9fD9Do8q3MFXcEH3rjOPA/edit?usp=sharing>.
      o *Deadline for reception of candidatures*: Sunday July 25, EOD CET

    2. Election among candidates:

      o A process will be put in place for FIWARE Chapter Active
        Contributors to cast their vote on candidatures, starting July
        26th.
      o *Deadline for voting*: July 31st, EOD CET

   The final list of FIWARE TSC members will be announced on August 2nd.

   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. Remarkable individuals 
are expected to be candidates that meet merits in terms of relevant 
current or potential contribution to FIWARE from a technical point of 
view.    Note that candidates should bear in mind that the FIWARE TSC 
members are expected to meet regularly every Monday from 10:30 to 12:30 
CET (stopping when there are holidays).   You can check minutes of TSC 
meetings 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/technical-steering-committee/#minutes> 
so far to get a perspective.  We expect FIWARE TSC members to join 
regularly and participate actively in the discussions.  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 their organization.   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 
everyone in the FIWARE Community is welcomed to join the FIWARE TSC 
meetings since they are open and public.  That is always a great 
opportunity to follow-up first-hand on progress of the different FIWARE 
components and roadmap plans.  You can find info about how to join 
looking at the initial section of minutes of TSC meetings 
<https://www.fiware.org/foundation/technical-steering-committee/#minutes> 
(it is always the same GoToMeeting bridge).

   Best regards,

    **
