<br>Hi everyone,<br><br>One take home message from the conversations we had at the bbq was that while the neurobureau is an organisation that promotes data and methods sharing, the organisation itself is not open. In the sense that membership is by invitation only, without any clearly laid out application process. There were also various (albeit jokey) "explanations" for what the Bureau is about that I
heard that evening, and some of them were seemingly at odds with the
mission statement on the nitric website...<br><br>I have not contributed much to the work for HBM 2011 which was an impressive success, and I also understand that having too much red-tape early on stifles the process of getting things going. I also think it should sit with those who have put in the work in to decide where to go from here.<br>
<br>I would love to hear their vision of what they would like the Neuro Bureau to be in five years from now, and how they see the power and control of the organisation being structured. Power and control are hard words to place against a backdrop of "open neuroscience", but ignoring these elements won't make them go away. I'd feel more comfortable knowing more about what the plans are to steer the Neuro Bureau through its maturational process.<br>
<br>With best wishes,<br><br>Oliver<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 July 2011 22:17, Cameron Craddock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cameron.craddock@gmail.com">cameron.craddock@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Please have a look over the list and think about whether there is something that we left out, or if there is a position that you would like to fill. Many of these roles will require more than one person, and it is our hope that the members will contribute to many of these. But we need to establish a main coordinator for each of our activities.</div>
