Re: [xmile] Inviting nominations for Chair of XMILE TC

[Steven Adler <adler1@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Chet,

I'd like to nominate Karim Chichakly
as co-chair of the XMILE Technical Committee.  Karim first developed
XMILE in 2007 based on the visionary idea that a technical XML specification
could allow System Dynamics Models to be more easily ported between different
applications.  He saw that models could be broken down into components,
stored in libraries, and re-used.  Karim invited Ventana, Powersim,
Forio, and Anylogic to learn about XMILE and adopt it as a common System
Dynamics language that could increase software adoption across the industry.


Thanks to OASIS, we now have the opportunity
to extend XMILE as an IT industry-wide standard that will enable vast new
audiences to benefit from Systems Thinking.

I'm sure Karim will be a terrific co-chair
and I enthusiastically support his nomination.


Best Regards,

Steve

To all prospective members of the XMILE TC:

The first order of business at the first TC meeting is
to elect a chair (or two co-chairs). If you are interested in serving as
a Chair or in nominating another individual for the position of Chair,
you are welcome to make that candidacy known prior to the first meeting
by posting a note to the TC's e-mail list expressing your interest and/or
intent along with a brief statement of your or their qualifications. The
meeting will also accept nominations from any qualified persons before
beginning the vote.
