| <h3>Election Process</h3> |
| <p>The process for the Eclipse Foundation’s annual elections is described below.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Each year, the Eclipse Foundation holds elections for board members representing two very |
| important groups within the Eclipse membership: the Committers and the Solutions Members. |
| The number of these elected representatives is a ratio of the total number of Strategic |
| Members.</li> |
| <li>These elections are held pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5 of the Eclipse Foundation <a |
| href="../documents/eclipse_foundation-bylaws.pdf" |
| >Bylaws</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li>The term of office for these elected board members is one year, commencing April 1.</li> |
| <li>Voting for the elected board members is done using <a |
| href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Transferable_Vote" |
| >single transferrable voting</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li>Each Solutions Member gets one vote.</li> |
| <li>Each Committer Member gets one vote. Note that committers who are employees of Member |
| companies have all the rights and privileges (including voting) of a Committer Member. |
| Individual committers must join the Eclipse Foundation as Committer Members by signing the <a |
| href="/org/documents/Eclipse%20MEMBERSHIP%20AGMT%202008_04_16%20Final.pdf" |
| >Membership Agreement</a> in order to be allowed to vote. |

| eligible voter is provided with the URL and a userid and password with which to vote several |
| days in advance of the voting. |
