We announce the addition of two new members to the openEHR SEC
<https://www.openehr.org/programs/specification/editorialcommittee>, the

the SEC. They are both 'old hands' at openEHR, and bring long experience
which will be of great value. Those new to openEHR might also be
interested to know the governance and change management process we use
for the specifications, here
