Correspondence with EIA, Panasonic Technologies, US DoD/DISA and Xerox Corporation INCITS Executive Board Members Regarding Retention of Voting Rights



At the February 2003 inaugural meeting of the INCITS Executive Board, the EIA contribution (in030213) requesting an attendance waiver for voting members of the previous organizations was addressed. Following discussion, the Executive Board addressed this motion:

(Jameson/Michael)

The INCITS Executive Board grandfathers the voting privileges, until the April 2003 Executive Board meeting,  for those members of the predecessor organizations, the JTC 1 TAG and the INCITS Executive Board, in good standing as of December 31, 2002.

Vote on the motion: unanimous consent [13 - 0 - 0]

The motion passed.

The INCITS Secretariat was instructed to notify the following members that if they are not represented at the April 7-11, 2003 meeting of the Executive Board, they will have failed to establish voting membership on the committee and will need to attend two out of three successive meetings to establish voting rights on the Executive Board:   EIA, Panasonic Technologies, US DoD/DISA and Xerox.

Please contact the INCITS Secretariat (jgarner@itic.org) concerning your attendance at the April 7 and 11, 2003 INCITS Executive Board meeting in West Lafayette, Indiana.  The meeting notice is contained in in030254 and the meeting logistics can be found in in030232.
