[wg-all] FW: Open Grid Forum At-Large Board Nominations

[Steve Crumb]

Dear GGF/EGA Participant,

By now you have seen the formal announcement of the completion of the
GGF/EGA merger and the creation of the Open Grid Forum (OGF).  As the new
Executive Director of OGF, I welcome your continued participation in the
core processes of the new organization, including the call for nominations
for new "at-large" Board of Director members.  

I invite you to participate in this essential process by visiting
http://www.ogf.org/bod_election/nomination.php before July 31 and nominating
individuals (self-nominations are accepted) to be considered as At-large
members of the board.  

Participation on the 15-seat board of directors is open to all OGF members
via one of two paths - Organizational or At-large. Members that sponsor at
the Platinum level are eligible for one of up-to-10 Organizational board
seats. All members (including individual members) can nominate candidates
for the up-to-5 At-large seats and all members (except Platinum members) are
eligible to serve as At-Large directors.

Members appointed to the board provide guidance and oversight through their
active leadership and participation. At-large board members represent
essential voices from our community - helping to provide balance, insight
and expertise during board deliberations to enable the success of our
mission.  For more information on the entire Board appointment process,
please visit

Thanks,

Steve Crumb
Executive Director, OGF
