------

The DataPortability group held an open nomination period to elect the
first DataPortability steering group. Twelve people stepped forward
and since the group was set to hold 12, no election was necessary.
Here are the new DataPortability steering group members in
alphabetical order:

-- J. Trent Adams
-- Daniela Barbosa
-- Elias Bizannes
-- Brady Brim-DeForest
-- Steven Greenberg
-- Brett McDowell
-- Drummond Reed
-- Steve Repetti
-- Chris Saad
-- Christian Scholz
-- Steve Williams
-- Phil Wolff

------

The Steering group is still open to all voices (via the discussion
list [2], chat room and conference calls). These individuals are
simply the current subset of participants that are elected to vote on
motions.

This is part of an ongoing (and open) process to define the project's
governance mechanisms. The steering group will now vote on refining
and expanding the governance model for the project (starting by
enacting provisions the community has already voted in).
