ABOUT THE JAVA COMMUNITY PROCESS (JCP) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES
The JCP has two Executive Committees (EC) -
Standard/Enterprise & Micro
Edition, each targets different markets for the Java Platform. Voting
Members on each EC serve 3-year terms; there are 10 Ratified Seats, 5
Elected Seats, and the permanent seat held by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The
3-year terms are staggered so that 5 of the 15 seats are normally up
for
ratification/election each year.
The EC members guide the evolution of the Java technologies.
The EC
represents a cross-section of both major stakeholders and other members
of the Java Community. Duties are: select JSRs for development, approve
draft Specifications for Public Review, approve Final Specifications,
review TCK appeals, approve Maintenance revisions and possibly defer
some features to a new JSR, approve transfer of maintenance duties
between members and provide guidance to the Program Management Office
(PMO). For more information on the EC, see the Executive Committee Info
page http://jcp.org/en/participation/committee.
SELECTION PROCESS FOR RATIFIED SEATS
Ratified Seats are filled by a simple ratification process.
Members are
selected for the Ratified Seats using a ratification ballot that is
carried out starting the first week of October of each year.
The ratification ballot is carried out as
follows:
The PMO nominates Members to fill the vacant Ratified Seats
with due
regard for balanced community and regional representation. Eligible
Members vote to ratify each nominee over a 14-day voting period. Each
nominee is ratified by a simple majority of the Community Members who
cast a vote.
SELECTION PROCESS FOR ELECTED SEATS
Elected Seats are filled by a straightforward election
process. Members
are selected for the Elected Seats using an election process that
begins
the third week of October of each year. Any Member may
nominate themselves.
The election ballot is carried out as follows:
The PMO accepts nominations from the Community for a period of
14 days.
Eligible Members vote for as many nominees as there are vacant Elected
Seats over a 14 day period. The nominees who receive the most votes
will
fill the vacant Elected Seats.
