Re: [DataPortability-Public] *** IMPORTANT – DATA PORTABILITY ELECTIONS ***

[Elias Bizannes]

Nomination to stand on the Steering Group in 2010
To: DataPortability voting mailing list: dataportab...@googlegroups.com
cc: DataPortability community: dataportabi...@googlegroups.com

* I was one of the founding members of the DataPortability workgroup, and have been instrumental in the growth and development of what we now regard the DataPortability Project. I drove the creation of the governance and workflow task force which forms the basis of our organisation's governance and deliverable-based culture; I led the development of the vision & mission which forms the DNA of our organisation's policy; and I am currently playing an active role developing the EULA and ToS work that will be core to the DPP's future. I am also in the process of documenting several position papers which explain the business case for data portability.

* I currently serve as the vice-chair of the Steering Group and have recently relocated to San Francisco from Sydney Australia. I'm also a member of the Open Web Foundation, the OpenID Foundation, and have been involved in various capacities in the APML workgroup, the Activity Streams workgroup, the DiSo Project, W3C Social Web Incubator, and Identity Commons.

* I would like to serve another term on the Steering Group because I feel we have yet to achieve our true potential. I've invested hundreds of hours since November 2007 to get us to where we are now, and I want to continue driving the Project to where I think it can have the most impact on the world. I feel with the position papers and the EULA work now maturing as work products, we now have 'things' to take to the world and I want to make 2010 a year where we make our biggest bang yet.

* Please take this self-nomination as intent to be a member of the Plenary and of the Steering Group in 2010, with a willingness to participate in an election if required.

Nomination to stand for election for the DataPortability Steering Group in 2010

To: DataPortability voting mailing list: dataportab...@googlegroups.com
cc: DataPortability community: dataportabi...@googlegroups.com

Fellow members and observers of the DataPortability Project, I would
like to submit to you my nomination to serve as a member of the
Steering Group of the DataPortability Project.

I have been involved with the DataPortability Project since January
2008 and have served as a member of the Steering Group since August of
2008.

I have a deep rooted passion for both data portability and open web
advocacy. I have extensive experience in non-profit management and
have personally written and filed the IRS exemption applications for
over a dozen organizations. My board experience spans both the
non-profit and for-profit worlds, and my many years of experience in
brand strategy have been put to use for the Project over the past two
years.

I am inspired to help drive forward both the DataPortability Project's
fundraising and advocacy/evangelism efforts and I feel that my
location in Southern California and my active role in the
entertainment/tech community here can bring value to the Project in
this region.

Beyond my work for DataPortability, I have been an active participant
in a number of organizations working on related problem sets, most
notably, the Open Web Foundation, where I have served as a member of
the Board since earlier this year, as well as Secretary of the Board
since September 2008. In addition, I am a member of the OpenID
Foundation, the OpenSocial Foundation, and a co-founder of the
OpenFriends Project.

Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to reach out to me
if you'd like to know more.

* This nomination serves as notice of intent to enroll as a member of
the Plenary and to stand for election to the Steering Group in 2010.

I would like to nominate myself to stand on the steering group as well
in 2010

I have been participating in the group since September 2008 and was
elected to the steering committee earlier this year and also serve as
chair of the Healthcare Taskforce.

DataPortability is my passion. I have been solving interoperability
problems for the last seven years and most recently in the healthcare
sector for the last three. During that time I have participated in
the OAuth, ActivityStream and Pubsubhubbub groups and I am currently
implementing them in several platforms, institutions, and companies
(all healthcare at the moment).

I want to continue serving because I feel 2010 is the year we can
fulfill the promise of portability. The mindset, desire, and
technologies are maturing to a point where progress is made daily, not
quarterly or weekly. However, there needs to be a voice and oversight
like the DataPortability group in order for it to be successful. I am
convinced I can help the project and portability succeed.

Additionally, I also participate in the OpenWeb Foundation, OpenSocial
Foundation, and Health 2.0 Accelerator.

I thank you for your consideration and your time. Cheers.
