3. Time for a change Jaime Fernández Things I would like to promote as Chairman: Increase the visibility of the Keymark By ceating a specific Working group incorporating our Industry colleagues from Marketing departments Some ideas for the group: More visibility on the internet: Creation of a new Blog on our website and Linkedin profile to be nourished weekly with interesting information. The SKN members have an incredible potential for sharing knowledge and knowhow, thus improving the image of the Mark. More visibility at international fairs: Having its own stand, participating as speakers in key conferences or facilitating the manufacturers with marketing objects like pin-ups, bags etc... PD: I Marketing activities…..

4. Time for a change Jaime Fernández Things I would like to promote as Chairman: Strategy for the Keymark as a global player? What is the role of the Keymark as a global player? How is the European industry benefiting from this? How can we achieve more recognition of the Keymark in the world? What is the role of the Keymark regarding the GSCN? Is it in danger? There are no clear answers but we need to address the issue in a clear, transparent, open and sincere way

5. Time for a change Jaime Fernández Things I would like to promote as Chairman: Improve the SCF and working group funding and link to the Management table Management Table Sets priorities Sets tasks Allocates resources We influence the world in our benegit We help: create better standards, better wokring rules, achieve recognition etc… Continuous feedback Some fine tuning of our system is welcome: When the evaluation of a project takes a long time, we don’t complain because the work is being done for free. The projects that are listed in the SKN meetings are not always the same as the ones that are posted later on by the SCF. Sometimes it is hard to understand why some projects are given more importance than others, since the final decision of resources per Project and the Project itself are not taken in the usual open and democratic way of the SKN. The method for receiving subsidies as WG leaders can be improved, and the relationship between WG Projects and SCF Projects could be revised and only differentiated as long term or short term Projects. The SCF could allocate specific percentage of money for certain types of ongoing Projects like those involved in round robin testing, standardisation activities and marketing activities, but always with specific goals and indicators. The SKN members who are in the decision taking process within the SCF (the steering group) could receive some subsidies for their travelling and part of their time. This seems fair towards them and at the same time it allows us to demand the evaluation work to be finished on time, thus improving the overall service. According to the rules only the Chairman gets elected every two years. I have no information of this taking place, but I would like to, and it may be a good idea to hold election for the rest of SKN members in the Steering Group.

6. Time for a change Jaime Fernández Things I would like to promote as Chairman: A different style: Empathy and follow up of work Follow up of work in between meetings to find best degree of consensus before meetings between the parties involved Empathy towards different opiniones and making sure everyone’s voice is taken into account Control on public complaints, working on them before going public Small changes as I work hard on the learning curve to manage meetings Loads of positive energry and the highest sense of responsibility Transparency
