Dear FINOS Community,

The FINOS Technical Oversight Committee is opening a new round of member elections. There are 4 upcoming vacancies, all four to be filled by the governing board.

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

  • Review the TOC responsibilities and ways of working; with your candidacy you confirm you would be volunteering and assisting on the work items assigned to you. 
  • Open a Github issue (previous ones as an example) on the TOC repo with the following information:
    • Affiliation: <name of the company you work for - if not applicable, put “Independent”>
    • Qualifications for candidacy: <member OR active contributor of project x,y,z OR both>
    • Bio: <relevant information about yourself that you would like to be considered during the election>
    • What impact do you hope to have on the ecosystem during your tenure as TOC member:
    • Are there any FINOS Strategic Initiatives you would be interested in working on?

Below the full timeline of these elections:

  • May 19th - Candidacy Opens
  • June 15th - Candidacy Closes
  • June 15th - Governing Board Election Opens
  • June 30th - Governing Board Election Closes
  • June 30th - Election Results Announced
  • July 1st - New terms begin

This is a fantastic opportunity to leverage your experience and insight to support the community and influence the direction of FINOS.

Cheers,

Peter Smulovics
Chair, FINOS Technical Oversight Committee
