Thank you for gentle explanation, Ian. It is not clear for me yet that where we are and why we got there, but it seems quite obvious that we definitely need to go forward from here, I guess. To go forward, we have to organise a new board as an engine to drive our project as soon as possible. In short, we have to choose 2 individual representative from there four nominees until Jan 31.
Shinji Kobayashi(me) Silje Ljosland Bakke Ian McNicoll Diego Bosca Thomas However, we do not know enough information to decide vote for each candidates. Yes I know me and other candidates, but we have to address our bio for decision makers like other elections. Here is my bio. Shinji KOBAYASHI, MD, PhD A senior lecturer of the EHR research unit, Kyoto University in Japan. I have trained as an clinical informatician and a clinical hematology/oncologist in these 20 years. * Achievement related with openEHR Projects: * Original papers KOBAYASHI S, TATSUKAWA A, Ruby implementation of openEHR specifications. JACIII 16(1): 42-47 (2012) * Conferences The openEHR Developers' Workshop. MedInfo 2013 Shinji Kobayashi, Eizen Kimura, Ken Ishihara: Creating Electronic Health Records within 15 Minutes with Ruby on Rails And ISO 13606/OpenEHR Standardized Clinical Models. MedInfo 2013 The openEHR Developers' Workshop. MedInfo 2010 * Activity related with openEHR.

My motivation is to propagate and utilise openEHR specification like ground roots. Please ask me any question around me. Moreover, could you let us know a profile of each nominee?
