Re: Chairs

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea for people to introduce themselves.

My name is Bart van Leeuwen and I'm CEO of netage.nl small company 
specialized in Semanticweb / Linked data solutions in the emergency 
response field.
Besides that I'm a professional fire fighter at the city of Amsterdam 
since 2001. Due to my personal experience and the lack of access to 
relevant information on the spot we started to develop a product to use 
(Linked) Open Data. I've been giving numerous talks about my work, and was 
a Keynote speaker at SemtechBiz San Francisco in 2012.

We have developed some light weight vocabularies, to support encoding 
emergencies in RDF and use this information to drive innovation.

I would like this group to not only focus on the large scale crisis but 
also on small scale incidents ( cat in the tree scenarios )

I am NOT a representative of Fire Department Amsterdam-Amstelland. I do 
however have the possibilities to sandbox ideas and innovation at the 
Amsterdam-Amstelland fire stations

We are relativly new to the W3C, members since July 2012, I've working on 
the GLD working group, and follow the LDP working group, both do have a 
clear connection to what needs to be done on this working group.

I would not mind to co chair, but due to my irregular shifts a the fire 
department I can't guarantee that I'll be available at all times.

I hope I inspired people to follow my example :)

Met Vriendelijke Groet / With Kind Regards
Bart van Leeuwen

Hi Renato

working in another community - we are also facing the governance question

we have asked people to candidate themselves in the first instance with 
some short statements, as it would be difficult to nominate people without 
knowing their availability intentions

Happy to nominate someone, but please suggest method/criteria

Hi all, we have a few suggestions for work items [1] so far...

I now suggest we look at appointing co-chairs to begin managing the 
process of our Community Group.

There are a number of options:
 1 - A poll
 2 - Accept/Propose Nominations

My suggestion is that we follow 2) and look at nominations from/of our 
members.

Any other thoughts?

Cheers...
