An open letter to IFPUG members: Board of Directors Election

(This letter is not authorized by IFPUG or IFPUG's Board of Directors) 

Four Board of

Director Candidates speak out on the Issues!

 I offered all of the candidates running for the IFPUG Board

of Directors the opportunity to answer one question to be posted on the Software

Process and Measurement Cast (SPaMCAST). 

The question was “in your opinion what is IFPUG’s most significant

problem and if elected what would you do about it."   Four of the eight candidates took me up on

the offer.  I have packaged their answers

on this special edition of SPaMCAST. 

Note, I did  no editing  on

these responses.  Also the fact that

they’re appearing on SPaMCAST is not a recommendation by me or IFPUG.   It is merely a public service for the

membership.

 Commentary:

 

As in IFPUG member you have a deep interest in how IFPUG governed.

Board members have a significant hand in whether new ideas are embraced or the

status quo maintained, whether offerings are expanded or maintained.  Your vote for the members of the IFPUG Board

of Directors is an important tool for you to make your voice heard.  If you’re voting member in good standing (one good indication is whether you

paid your dues) you should have recently received a ballot in the mail or an

e-mail with instructions on how to vote if you have not received one or both

please:

 

Validate

you are a voting member.  Remember

that corporate members have the specific people identified as voting

members. 

After

validating your voting member make sure you paid your dues for the 2007 –

2008 year. 

If  you still think you are should have

received a ballot contact the office at [email protected] and please copy me

at [email protected]

 Voting is an important obligation of membership.  Voting is part of the theme of involvement I

will be stressing when I become president later this year.  Begin your involvement with IFPUG by

voting. 

 Note this entry will be posted at .  I will be update this blog periodically

during my presidency. I’m looking to serving you on the Board of Directors. 

If you are interested in software process or measurement the

Software Process and Measurement Cast is a great opportunity for you to listen

to such a people in as Kent Beck, Capers Jones, Will McKnight, Mary Poppendieck

Dave Garmus, Scott Goldfarb and many others.
