This email is to announce the election of the CellML editorial board.
The elected members will have responsibility to encourage and facilitate
discussion about development of the CellML standard.

The list of nominees to the board is shown at the end of this email, and
can also be found on the CellML website at:

http://www.cellml.org/community/boardnominees

Voting is open to all members of the CellML discussion mailing list. You
can cast your vote(s) using an on-line form, available here:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VQ96KBC

The elected board will consist of the 5 top ranked nominees. The top two
ranked members will be elected for a three year term, the next two for a
two year term, and the fifth member for a one year term. Members
subsequently elected to replace these members will all have three year
terms.

We are using an STV voting system, details of which are explained on the
ballot form. Simply rank as few or as many candidates as you wish in
order of your preference.

In order to ensure all votes come from valid members of the CellML
discussion list, the form requires that you enter the email you use to
subscribe to this list. If you make a mistake with your voting and I
receive another vote from the same address, don't worry - I'll just get
in touch with you directly to make sure this was your intention and to
clarify any corrections.

We would like to encourage everyone with any interest in CellML to
participate by taking a look at the list of nominees and voting.

Cheers,
Dougal


List of Nominees
================

Randall Britten - My background is applied mathematics and professional
software development. I have been involved with the CellML project since
2007, leading the Bioengineering Software Development Group at the ABI,
which participates in the development of the CellML repository, CellML
API and CellML specification, and previously OpenCell. This group also
participates in related Physiome projects: PMR2, FieldML, OpenCMISS,
cmgui and the Cardiac Atlas Project. I continue to participate very
directly in each of these projects. I believe in giving attention to
user requirements and valuing feedback from users; building a highly
capable development team and fostering teamwork and community
collaboration. Email: r.britten at auckland.ac.nz.

Jonathan Cooper - Jonathan's background is in computer science, software
engineering, and computational biology. He has been developing tools
supporting CellML since 2005, most notably the PyCml suite within
Chaste. This incorporates strict validation of CellML 1.0, automatic
units checking and conversion, and various optimisation methods for
speeding model simulations. Jonathan is also working on functional
curation solutions building on CellML.

Edmund Crampin - Edmund is head of the Systems Biology Group at the
Auckland Bioengineering Institute, which develops mathematical models of
complex diseases including heart disease and dysfunction of saliva
secretion. We are also using computational approaches to study the
network of genetic interactions underlying cancers, in order to develop
new gene-based prognostic tools. We are predominantly users of CellML
rather than developers, and seek to represent the community of users on
the CellML Board.

Alan Garny - Alan's background is in computer science and cardiac
electrophysiological modelling. His involvement with CellML goes back to
its official release in August 2001. Alan is the author of COR, the
first publicly available CellML environment. He was also involved in the
development of OpenCell. He now leads the OpenCOR project which aim is
to provide a replacement solution for both OpenCell and COR.

Steve McKeever - Steve comes from a computing science background with a
strong interest in the formal specification of programming languages and
compilers. His interest in CellML is from the perspective of a language
developer rather than a modeller. Hence he is interested in exploiting
analysis and optimisation techniques from traditional software language
development applied to physiological modelling scenarios.

Andrew Miller - Andrew has been an active member of the CellML community
since 2004, and has developed and maintained the CellML API from the
commencement of that project, as well as participating in the
development of a number of CellML language proposals.

David Nickerson - David "Andre" Nickerson has been involved in CellML
since its inception, with his Master's project providing the initial
demonstration of the application of XML to physiological modelling. He
continues to be an active participant in CellML, the model repository,
and related projects and software developments.

Steven Niederer

Poul Nielsen - Poul is one of the original designers of CellML and has
led the effort since its inception. In this role, he has instigated and
overseen the development of many of the standards and tools associated
with CellML. He continues to be an active participant in CellML and
related projects.
