RE: Quarterly Plenary Meeting- Q2 09

As per our 2009 strategic goals[1], the Steering Group of the
DataPortability Project will be hosting quarterly plenary meetings to
engage the community more with what we are doing. The plenary is an
important part
of the DataPortability Project's governance framework, which among
other things, elects the Steering Group and holds it accountable.

All members of the plenary are invited to this meeting, where the
Steering Group can explain how we are tracking against the goals and
question Steering members on the DataPortability Project's future
direction and the relevance of work being performed. It also is an
opportunity for the community to make binding decisions on behalf of
the Project, despite being removed from the day to day operation of
it. As with all DataPortability
Project meetings, this is open to anyone to participate.

The meeting will take the place on July 21st at 16:00 - 17:00 UTC. As
decided in our last plenary meeting [3] meeting hours will rotate
quarterly to accommodate our global plenary. Please refer to the
meeting agenda page[2] for details about your region, and feel free to
add an agenda item.

To be a member of the plenary, all you need to do is "opt-in" into the
vote mailing list.[4], by stating your intention to be a member.

Any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
~daniela
