Subject: 72 hour call for consensus ­ election of new PBG Steering Committee slate

The Publishing BG has decided by consensus at our 30 Jan 2017 call to put forward a slate of candidates for the new Steering Committee, as recommended by the co-chairs to help reshape that group into a cross-group coordination body.
This new Steering Committee will consist of the co-chairs of the Pub BG, Pub WG, and EPUB 3 CG plus leads of certain task forces of the PBG.
Strategic decisions will be taken in the PBG as a whole, not by the SC.
This is somewhat of an experiment and so we are not proposing to amend the charter at this stage.



You are invited to provide email feedback on this call for consensus within the next 72 hours (by 3pm on Friday Feb 2 US ET time).


If you approve that the PBG be considered to have elected, by consensus, the proposed slate as the new Steering Committee, each to serve a one-year term (to be considered resigned if their chair/lead responsibilities change), please reply +1. If you disapprove, please -1, neutral 0.



            Ric Johnson (Ingram / VitalSource) - co-chair Publishing BG

            Liisa McCloy-Kelley (Penguin Random House) - co-chair Publishing BG
            Luc Audrain (Hachette Livre) - co-chair Publishing BG

            Dave Cramer (Hachette Book Group) - co-chair EPUB 3 CG

            Rachel Comerford (Macmillan Learning) - co-chair EPUB 3 CG

            Tzivya Siegman (Wiley) - co-chair Publishing WG

            Garth Conboy (Google)  - co-chair Publishing WG

            George Kerscher (DAISY) - co-lead, PBG a11y task force

            Bill Kasdorf (Apex) - co-lead, PBG external coordination task force

            Daihei Shiohama (Media Do) - co-lead, PBG external coordination task force

If the chairs do not see consensus we will conduct a different election process.

The co-chairs,
Kind regards,
Luc
