[od-discuss] Nominating Herb to (continue) as Chairperson next year

Tue Nov 25 08:17:11 UTC 2014

Hi All,

Herb Lainchbury has done an excellent job as chairperson of the Open
Definition Advisory Council this year and as we move towards 2015 I would
like to take this opportunity to re-nominate his to chair for next year.
(Note: Herb checked in with me about this so this won't come as a bolt from
the blue for him ;-) !)

At the same time, it would be great to know if there are others interested
in either this role or other potential roles both now and going forward.

For example, it would be great to have someone who was our website /
technical manager (at the moment I think Mike LInksvayer has been de facto
leading on this - @Mike it would be great to have that continue).

Similarly, it would be great to have someone dedicated to coordinating and
managing the process (of discovery) of new licenses and their review
(obviously this is something the whole Council and the Chairperson do but
having someone oversee and support this process would be really valuable).

Further suggestions both on roles (whether ideas for ones or to offer your
contribution in this area) are warmly welcome.

Regards,

Rufus
