 <title>What is it you wish members to do?</title>
 <link>http://www.itskeptic.org/node/337#comment-1485</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m at a loss to understand what you wish the &quot;members&quot; (contributors) to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ITSMF is, by definition, the marketing arm of OGC.  You have pointed out that the goal of itsmf is to promote ITIL.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By extension, the marketing arm of those companies that paid employees to have their point of view implanted in the version 3 - HP, BMC, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike other international standards ISO 20000 is based upon a &quot;lesser&quot; standard - the British-owned ITIL.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems to me that itsmf can change its charter and become related to ISO 20000 and divorce itself from OGC.  But, that&#039;s not likely, is it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if contributors vote for other board members the fundamental purpose of itsmf is to promote the owned standard of the British Government.  It will continue to be the unofficial, stupidly unpaid, marketing arm of the OGC for ITIL.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what is it that you want the contributors to do?&lt;/p&gt;
