[WG-InfoSharing] Result of vote

[Judi Clark]

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.
