dear colleagues, as some of you know, for sure the gold members' representatives in the bod, from 1st january 2025 two platinum members will downgrade their membership from platinum to gold. above any other consideration that will follow in this email, this is certainly a very unpleasant fact for all of us. under these circumstances we are enquiring a german legal attorney expert in association law if the number of representatives of gold members shall be 6, as the current number of platinum members, or 4. the issue is not so trivial as the bylaws clearly state in art V: [image: image.png] this means that on 1st jan 2025 the number of gold members' representatives will be more than the platinum at that time. this situation is known to the bod and us well in advance of the date of the elections so we are not in front of an uncertain case, but on an established fact. this is why we enquired the legal attorney to have a clear and well proved opinion. the matter is complex so he promised an answer in the very next days, this is why with this email the voting process is suspended for a week, i.e *the voting process will start on monday 10th june 10:00 cet and will end friday 14th june at 17:00*. this extension does not imply an extension of the candidacy application phase which officially ended last wednesday 29th may 2024 at 17:00 cet. as a consequence of this delay, we enquired the attorney about the call for the general assembly. he clearly stated that the correct interpretation of the bylaws is that the general assembly shall be called after 5 weeks from the end of the election process. so the general assembly is postponed and, as also several of you asked for, will be co-located with the fiware global summit and will be only in person. i'll keep you posted. have a nice weekend! ciao, stefano On Tue, 14 May 2024 at 07:54, Stefano De Panfilis < stefano.depanfilis at fiware.org> wrote: > dear colleagues, > > as you know and given the current bylaws the representatives of gold > members in the fiware foundation bod shall be elected every year, and now > we are at the moment in time to celebrate such elections. > > the goal is to end the elections process by the 20 june 2024 when, > colocated with the fiware global summit, there will be the fiware > foundation general assembly (in another email thread i'll send the > invitation and agenda for the general assembly, please refer to that > email for any related issue) where the gold member representatives to > the bod will be announced. > > at this moment in time we have six (6) platinum members so, according to > the bylaws, the 102 gold members (all categories - normal, startup, seu), > and at this point in time all regular members of the fiware foundation, > have the possibility to elect six (6) representatives to become members of > the bod in behalf of the whole gold members group. > > we would like to have such elections from 3rd june till 7th june 2024. > > so with this email i kindly ask you to tell (*only to me for the moment > as i'll share the candidates all together so as not to bias the process*) > if you would like to nominate yourself or any person of your organisation > as candidate for such a position. in the case of yes, please add a short > paragraph (one page max) to tell to the others who you are (cv) and why > you think yourself to be a good candidate for the position (motivation and > intents). deadline for your answer is on wednesday 29th may 2024 at 17:00. > > although there are no provisions in the bylaws about candidatures, we > expect those organisations who did not pay yet the annual fee for year 2024 > to abstene to candidate themselves or, if they wish so, to make their > payments urgently and certainly before the 3rd june. > > this way on 3rd june, as required, i can launch the elections week with a > dedicated email telling you who the candidates are, providing you all their > candidature statements, and describing the voting procedures. > > please acknowledge that you have received this email. > > we need as always your passion for the success of fiware! > thank you again for your kind collaboration on the matter. > > ciao, > stefano > > -- > Stefano De Panfilis > Chief Operating Officer > stefano.depanfilis at fiware.org <charlotte.kotterman at fiware.org> > www.fiware.org > Mob: +393357542567 > Skype: depa01 > twitter: depa01 > > <https://twitter.com/fiware> > > > > -- Stefano De Panfilis Chief Operating Officer stefano.depanfilis at fiware.org <charlotte.kotterman at fiware.org> www.fiware.org Mob: +393357542567 Skype: depa01 twitter: depa01 <https://twitter.com/fiware> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
