Follow-up for JTLB 2077 and Call for Volunteers to Serve as the US National Body Candidate for SC 22 Chairman

JTLB 2077 closed on September 20, 1999 with neither candidate receiving the required support (2/3 approval). Reconsideration ballots on personnel issues are explicitly prohibited in the JTC 1 TAG procedures.

On the advice of ITI legal counsel, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator is issuing an abbreviated call for volunteers (attached below) to close on October 15, 1999. The candidates submitted for approval on JTLB 2077 are welcome to submit their papers again, and other candidates are also welcome.

Upon close of the call for volunteers, the SC 22 TAG will be asked to conduct an endorsement ballot and to submit the results by October 29, 1999. A new JTC 1 TAG letter ballot will be issued on November 1, 1999 for a period of 25 days. If no candidate receives the required 2/3 approval, the matter will be referred to the JTC 1 TAG.

To:	Mr. Scott Jameson, Acting SC 22 TAG Chairman - For Transmission to the Members of the US TAG to SC 22 JTC 1 TAG
From:	Jennifer Garner, JTC 1 TAG Administrator
Subject:	CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - Chairman, JTC 1/SC 22 - Programming Languages, Their Environments and Systems Software Interfaces

The office of the Chairman of JTC 1/SC 22 is now vacant. In order to be prepared to put forth a U.S. candidate, this call for volunteers is being issued and will close October 15, 1999.

Any member of the SC TAG meeting the requirements set forth below is welcome to volunteer to serve. Before one considers doing so, however, the commitment in time and responsibilities should be considered. Officers must actively support the administrative structure that ensures due process to all participants, assists in reaching consensus and protects the accreditation of the entire system.

Those willing to make this commitment must submit four written statements in support of their candidacy:

1. A statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the subgroup's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities.


2. A statement indicating that the volunteer's organization is a member in good standing of the associated US SC TAG.
3. A statement of management support for a three-year term on company letterhead acknowledging the additional workload, financial resources and duties required of an officer over and above that of a technical participant.
   

   The statement of management support for the three-year term is a good faith commitment, not a legal binding commitment. If future circumstances require the applicant to resign from the office before the term has been fulfilled, this will be accepted without prejudice.



4. A statement as to whether or not the candidate is a representative of a U.S. domiciled organization.

The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position should be sent to the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's attention no later than October 15, 1999.
