Dear All,
I believe the following point and I strongly encourage ACTION as soon as possible: Governance of openEHR is not clear to all the community Communication with all members is broad and requires some leadership The foundation lidership group sits in few people and the process to select them is not explicit Example of Medinfo 2010 collaboration can be used to avoid confusion At present ocean informatics is seem to be the leader in the market and it is a good thing. At the same time the foundation should guide its members to the health sector and encourage competition The members are volunteer and need some incentives to keep collaborating : trust is a good thing. We need leadership space where anyone can participate with a democratic guidelines The first congress of openEHR should be somewhere where the members are closed by. It is bad luck for us in the south * since the attendance will be low due to funding sources, but the foundation should provide some funding to people like TIm and others working so hard alone and in the limited resources environments. I encourange strongly an annual meeting and allow new members to engage. At present the knowledge sits with the founders and maner to transfer to society remains uncertan due to the lack of resources. Government wants to engage with openEHR but the mechanism remains unclear.
