I agree with the two-sided approach, and I support Jenny as the OK-INT candidate. Open Science FTW!
Best,
Peter

I agree with Konrad's suggestion of a two-sided approach:
- for the organizational track, let the global OKF propose one candidate - Jenny
- for the individual track, I think a diversity of suitable candidates
would be good.
I haven't yet gone through all the public candidate posts yet, but I
have posted one myself (which links to those that I am aware of) and
encourage others to do so as well:

.
According to the selection criteria, they aim to "strike a balance
within the members of the group in terms of stakeholders represented,
gender, age and geographical origin", and in this dimension, a range
of community candidates can complement the organizational candidates
in a useful fashion.
Cheers,
d.
