Folks,

The results have arrived yesterday, and it is with some disappointment that I found out that I had not been elected at the Board. I know what it means: I’ll try to understand better what the members of the OASIS consortium feel the issues on the table are the  next time. There is a conversation to be had and I suspect that we will  all gain from it. In the mean time, I would like to congratulate the new board of directors as well as the Technical Advisory Board. I wish them a heartfelt and sincere good luck for this new term: there is a lot of work to be done and I’m confident that they will succeed.  The OASIS Consortium is a great place for digital standards, and it deserves a team of great and experienced people like the one that just got elected.

Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me, and all of my supporters, inside and outside the OASIS who were kind enough to dedicate time and effort to this project.  Next time will be better and I look forward working with all you again.

Thank you, and congratulations to the new Board!
