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

Hi Chet.

I am nominating Steve Adler as co-chair of the XMILE Technical Committee. Steve is Information Strategist at IBM, in charge of Data Governance, Big Data, Open Data, and System Dynamics. It was Steve's dogged determination that led to the formation of this technical committee. While we were working on a standard within the system dynamics community, his vision for both the role of XMILE in the broader world and the future of system dynamics convinced me and many others of the value in creating an open standard with a larger standards organization. Steve believes that systems thinking can substantively improve many aspects of our daily lives and that the creation of the XMILE standard is a critical step in the wide-spread adoption of system dynamics methodologies and models.

Steve will be a fabulous co-chair and I wholeheartedly support his nomination.

Best regards,

Karim

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.
