Subject: [Printing-architecture] FSG OpenPrinting Chair election


Folks:

Attached is the OpenPrinting Organizational document that explains the
layout of our Openprinting organziation as well as layout and timeframe of
its leadership.  One of the items in this organization is that the
OpenPrinting chairperson will only serve a 2 year timeslot and then either
is re-elected by the voting body or a new person is elected.

The timeslot for me is coming do.  As a lot probably have seen, my ability
to give focus to the position has dimished greatly over the past few months.
As such we need to elect a new chairperson.

What are the chairperson's responsibilities:
*  Leading the steering body of openprinting.  This includes working with
the various task groups and regional groups to ensure movement around
openprinting is moving forward.
*  Providing monthly feedback to the FSG Executive chair, Scott McNeil, on
the progress, plans and issues the OpenPrinting group.
*  Working with the FSG Executive board and other FSG working group chairs
with respect to FSG directions and how this influences changes Openprinting
work.
*  Maintain a mailing list/website/Sourceforge project for internal
communication, document and code repository and external communication.
*  Work to bring together face-to-face meetings one a 2-4 times a year
basis.  Currently we are trying to build ourselves into the PWG conference
schedule.

The first thing I am going to do is see if there are any folks interested in
this position - volunteers?  If so, let me know.  I will then present that
person to the voting group to see if there is approval.  If there are
multiple volunteers, we can establish a voting process.

Unless people object, I do not see a need to make this extremely formal.
Let me know.  Otherwise, my plan is to find a group of 2-3 people who could
be the vote collection committee who will tally up the votes and announce
the next chair.

But first, I am requesting those interested in this position.  I will
collect names over the next 2 weeks.

Also if you are interested in being on the vote collection committee, please
let me know.

Please send all emails directly to me, shawn.pratt at hp.com.

Regards,

Shawn Pratt
