I'm very pleased to be able to confirm that the board has today resolved to co-opt
Gill Hamilton as trustee to replace Padmini Ray Murray who stepped down last month. Gill
is Digital Access Manager at the National Library of Scotland, in Edinburgh, where she is
responsible for the development of open and linked data strategies and policies. She has
recently lead the development and implementation of a policy to enable Library resources
and metadata to be licensed openly. Gill maintains a broad range of contacts with national
cultural heritage organisations, and brings to the board very valuable direct experience
of the national GLAM sector. Please join me in welcoming her to the board.
