ISWG members,

We recently put forward a motion for voting members. The motion,
included below, passed unanimously with one voting member (Joe Andrieu)
abstaining.

Based on our conversation with the Leadership Council earlier this
month, we put this motion out to an email vote by the group.

Background
----------
As we discussed and approved on our most recent call, we'd like to use
$5k of our 2011 budget to pay Joe Andrieu to develop tools and guidance
for creating information sharing engagement models. To address issues of
self-dealing, Kantara requires a few procedural steps.

  1. That we first explore the possibility of a non-work group member
doing the work. If that possibility isn't viable, we can consider having
a member of the group do it.

  2. That the work group member doing the work recuse themselves from
all approval votes.

Therefore, the following motion is put forward for electronic ballot:

----

Given the time constraints and domain expertise required for the "tools
and guidance" work project adopted this week, the group finds that no
outside party is suitable for contracting the work.

Further, the group agrees that Joe Andrieu is suitable for doing the
work, and hereby requests approval from the leadership council to direct
staff to execute a suitable contract as soon as possible, based on the
same terms and conditions of the last contract used for working with Joe
Andrieu, specifically, 50% payment up front, 50% on completion,
completion to be determined by Iain Henderson, Co-Chair of the
Information Sharing Work Group.

----

This is an informational email. /No action is required. /If you have
questions or comments about this vote or work, please let me know!

Thanks for your time.
