[Data] Bylaws Board of Directors Technology Council Ecosystem Council Operations Council [Evaluation] OW2 Bylaws state the openness of the organization. The organization is to be driven by its members through the Board and its Councils. The Board of Directors reflects our three categories of Members: Strategic, Corporate and Individual. Strategic Members have a seat by right, they are balanced by the same number of seat for the Corporate Members plus one seat for the Individual Members. Elections are held each year. The Councils prepare the decisions for the Board and the Management Office (MO): Technology Council (TC): Project leaders are in the TC. All technology decisions are made by the TC. - Operations Council (OC): admin, HR, finance, budget experts, here to check the house is kept in order. - Ecosystems Council (EC): should help with marcom but currently on hold for lack of marcom expertise available. The Board and the Councils and are meritocratic forums where every one can propose; comment and discuss. Oligarchy? Actually we are not fan of this word. No oligarchs at OW2 (not even the Strategic Members) but we do have an active and committed minority, call it the elite?, that expresses itself within the framework of a democratic system defined by the bylaws. Meritocracy and oligarchy are not defined in the bylaws. We would be happy NOT to deserve a full score here, hence our scoring: Open = 1, Meritocratic = .5, Oligarchy = .5 [Score] +2 [Rule]
