"We had a successful JCP EC election this year with JCP Member voter turnout at 33% overall; 24% for
Full and Partner Members, and 50% for Associate Members! These are very
strong representation numbers, especially from the Associate
Membership category. I'd like to congratulate the winners, and thank all
of the nominees for their participation. We are looking forward to
welcoming the new members at our next meeting in December," said Heather
VanCura, Group Director of the JCP Program Office.
The Executive Committee members will be taking office on 28 November 2017. EC
members guide the evolution of the Java technologies by approving and
voting on all technology proposals (Java Specification Requests, or
JSRs). They are also responsible for defining the JCP's rules of
governance and the legal agreement between members and the organization.
They provide guidance to the Program Management Office (PMO) and they
represent the interests of the JCP to the broader community.
This year, 19 candidates participated in the EC elections including
individual developers, corporate entities and Java User Groups. View the
