TOC Candidacy

[Colin Eberhardt (He/Him)]

Dear FINOS Community,

As you may have heard, on July 19th 2023, the Technical Oversight Committee became an official body of the FINOS charter. This group has a number of responsibilities including, shaping and growing the overall landscape of projects, and providing strategic direction to the board.

There are currently 2 vacant seats at the TOC and today we’re announcing the opening for candidacies, starting on Monday 18 September and closing on Monday 2 October.

If you’re either an active contributor of a FINOS project or an employee of a (FINOS) member organization, you can follow these simple steps to submit your candidacy:

1. Review TOC responsibilities and ways of working; feel free to contact he...@finos.org if you have any questions.

2. Open a Github issue on https://github.com/finos/technical-oversight-committee/issues with the following information:

1. Title: [TOC Candidacy] <full name of the candidate>

2. Affiliation: <name of the company you work for ; if not applicable, type “Independent”>

3. Bio

4. Reasons for candidacy: <member OR active contributor of project x,y,z or both>

Here's the full timeline:

• Monday 18 September - candidacy opens

• Monday 2 October - candidacy closes

• Monday 9 October - voting opens

• Friday 13 October - voting closes

• Monday 16 October - new TOC members are announced

This is a fantastic opportunity to influence the direction of FINOS, through providing knowledge and insight.

Regards, Colin E.
