RadioDNS General Assembly – Geneva – 10th November

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

We have been busy making arrangements for the first RadioDNS General Assembly in Geneva on the 10th November.

This is a very important moment in the RadioDNS Project, as it begins the process of establishing the project as a legal entity, with statutes and an elected steering board to determine strategic direction. If you want to be involved with shaping the future of RadioDNS, this is a meeting you should be at.

All the detail of the meeting are here, and that page will be updated as more information becomes available. Please make sure you register to attend, either in person or via teleconference.

As a reminder, the deadline for nominations for the Statutes Drafting Team is tomorrow – 1st November 2009 at 23:59:59 GMT. You can nominate yourself by sending an e-mail to the feedback@radiodns.org address.

Shortly after nominations have closed, we will publish the nominees and explain how voting will be carried out at the General Meeting.

Steering Team: Nominations close 14th August

Friday, July 17th, 2009

As RadioDNS is a community project, it’s only right that the community should decide how it is run, and to that end we are establishing a small team of around 11 people who will set some direction for RadioDNS. This team will draft the policy for RadioDNS, including the statues for the body, how it might be formed as a legal entity, and how future members might be appointed. We have kindly been offered the services of some experienced people to help inform and guide discussions.

We are asking people to nominate themselves to be considered for this team. To make a nomination you must:

  • Have the support of your company / employer to be involved in the project, and to dedicate around 8 days a year project.
  • Make a commitment to your company joining RadioDNS as a member when the membership structure is agreed (subject to agreement on any membership fees)
  • Agree to your nomination and your company’s support for RadioDNS being made public
  • Agree to participate in a non-partisan way, and in the best interests of the RadioDNS community as a whole.

If you wish to nominate yourself, and you have met these criteria, please send an e-mail to feedback@radiodns.org with the following details:

  • Your name
  • Your company
  • Your position
  • Your company’s main area of activity
  • Supporting information on why you’d be a good person to have on the team, including a bio if it’s helpful
  • Whether your nomination is confirmed, or whether it is tentative, awaiting confirmation from your organisation.

Please make sure we have your nomination by 14th August 2009. If you are unable to make this deadline (possibly because you have to await a decision internally), please make a tentative submission.

We hope to announce the members of the team, which should fairly represent the radio industry globally, in August 2009, with a view to a first (virtual) meeting in early September 2009.
