Hi Tom, 

Sadly, I am unable to come this year for some personal reasons. I am sure that we can make an online meeting if you are interested.

Regarding the board, this has been a recurring topic in the community. What strikes me as odd is that while renewal is regularly encouraged, most former board members still run for re-election. In some cases, even when there were enough new candidates to fill the seats, the former members were all re-elected.

If we don’t intentionally make space for new candidates, it will be difficult to bring in fresh perspectives. I don’t have a definitive solution, but I believe it’s worth reflecting on how we can better encourage and support renewal.

I know that there is some new faces on the board (like you this year). I hope this trend continues.

Kind regards,

What we have tried to do here in the past year is to form Workgroups, 
with the goal of diverting the actual work there. Nobody wants to be a 
Board member, but there are a lot more people who want to contribute to 
a small part that they feel enthousiastic about. This idea could be 
built upon.

Will you be at the OCA days to join discussions on how to come from 
opinions to actual proposals that can be implemented?
