 Greetings! With all the recent discussion about shortcomings in proposed or pending standards I thought there might be some interest in the position announced below. Standards bodies can't do a good job without the widest possible participation. Here is an opportunity to make a difference. (Note that you can join without any intention of seeking the announced position, V1 needs participants for the various projects mentioned below.) Note that xml-dev readers who are not working for US domiciled organizations should check with the appropriate national body for similar opportunities to participate in international standards work. Note that the position requires membership in the V1 committee, see the INCITS (International Committee for Information Standards) webpage: http://www.incits.org for further details. The V1 committee (full name: V1 - Text Processing: Office and Publishing Systems Interface) is the U.S. TAG (Technical Advisory Group) to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34. SC 34 is the home of work on projects such as: Document Schema Definition Languages (RELAX-NG), Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), and Topic Maps, among others. Participation through a national body involves working on the development of the latest technology standards that underlie the software of tomorrow. Lots of hard work, good companions and technical excellence await those who choose to participate. Hope everyone is having a great day! Patrick ***Call for Volunteers: V1 International Representative*** INCITS Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) 1250 Eye St. NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005 Telephone 202-737-8888; Fax 202-638-4922; Date: June 18, 2003 Date Due: July 19, 2003 Reply to: Jennifer T. Garner Phone: (202) 626-5737 email: jgarner@i... <mailto:jgarner@i...> cc: Patrick Durusau, V1 Chairman Arnold Winkler, SDB Liaison to V1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To: The Members of INCITS/V1 From: Jennifer T. Garner, for the INCITS Secretariat Subject: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - International Representative - INCITS/V1, Text Processing: Office and Publishing Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Due to the recent appointment of Mr. Patrick Durusau as Chairman of INCITS/V1, the office of V1 International Representative is currently vacant. This first call for volunteers to serve as International Representative of V1 is being issued the the members of V1 and will close on July 19, 2003. Any member of the INCITS Subgroup 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. [There is no limit to the number of terms an individual may serve. There is a rule prohibiting one individual from being appointed to two or more offices of the same committee simultaneously.] The INCITS/RD-2 <http://www.incits.org/archive/2003/in030017/in030017.pdf>, Organization and Procedures of INCITS, generally describes officers' responsibilities, and a more detailed list of duties has been compiled in the INCITS/SD-8 <http://www.ncits.org/sd8-r1c.htm>, Officers' Reference Manual. Those willing to make this commitment must submit three written statements in support of their candidacy: 1. A one-page statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the subgroup's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities (to be forwarded to the INCITS Subgroup for an advisory ballot if there is more than one candidate). 2. 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. 3. A statement as to whether or not the candidate is a representative of a U.S. domiciled organization. Any supplemental materials will be forwarded along with the advisory ballot to INCITS, which appoints all INCITS Subgroup officers. The statements from candidates wishing to serve in the above referenced position on the INCITS Subgroup should be sent to the attention of Jennifer Garner no later than July 19, 2003. -- Patrick Durusau Director of Research and Development Society of Biblical Literature Patrick.Durusau@s...
