Hi Erik, Happy New Year.
I agree the list of current nominees and members should be made more obvious- @Sam - is this possible? I have no idea what is meant by 'include name in list of event registrants'. There is certainly no other 'secret' list of nominees and current Board members are not automatically nominated. You are correct that self-nomination is expected. I am not sure that it makes sense to nominate someone else since it would really require that person's agreement in any case. They would need to be registered members and would need to nominate themselves, provide a bio etc. The nomination does need support from an existing Board member but this is purely to prevent vexatious or spurious nominations. I would certainly not expect a nomination to be rejected other than in highly extreme circumstances, and I would personally be happy to support anyone from the 'known' openEHR community, should they wish it. I am not aware of any Industry group nominations so far but understand that these are imminent. I agree too that we should issue regular updates over the next weeks, along with lists of current nominations - we need more!
