Hi Jo, yes I had wondered about the possibility of you doing the role too, and I know you would do a good job of keeping the board informed. But as you say, one of the advantages that I bring is having the experience of running a previous event. And also I think there's probably some advantage to having someone from outside the original proposing team just to give a bit of an external perspective on things.<div>

As most of you probably know, I was Chair of FOSS4G 2011 in Denver, and I am originally from the UK so that gives me an additional interest in helping the UK team run a great conference. I'm not quite sure of the protocol for choosing someone for this role, but I assume it makes sense to propose a motion on it at the next board meeting? If anyone else would like this role please speak up, I would be happy to let someone else do it :). But equally if nobody else wants to, I will be happy to take it on.<br>
