[SC#1-11] Notification of the SC Chair and Vice-Chair nomination process being opened shall be sent via the SC reflector, noting that nominations are to be received within seven (7) days of the SC#2 meeting start date. Critical elements for the success of oneM2M going forward are harmonious collaboration among partners and members, and creating environment for various vertical industries to participate voluntarily. This can be achieved through the expert with experience and strong leadership skills. Looking back at the history of 3GPP, ETSI’s leadership role in the 1st meeting of 3GPP PCG/OP became the foundation that made 3GPP one of the successful partnership projects among standardization bodies and membership companies. Considering the above mentioned aspects that are required in making partnership project a successful one, we believe that some leading expert among Partner Type 1 is best suited for the leadership position of oneM2M Steering Committee. Therefore, ARIB and TTA would like to nominate Luis Jorge Romero from ETSI as a candidate for Chair of the oneM2M Steering Committee. His deep knowledge and experience both with oneM2M and in the M2M marketplace gives us full confidence in his ability to help lead oneM2M, especially in its crucial formative years. Your support will be highly appreciated. Sincerely yours, KyuJin WEE, Vice President of TTA Kohei SATOH, Managing Director and Secretary-General of ARIB
