Appointed Chair of the DRM Consortium

BONN, Germany, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- 
http://www.presseportal.ch/de/pm/100014777/?langid=2 -
Every two years, the Digital Radio Mondiale (TM) consortium holds elections.
Yesterday the members of the Steering Board, the key players of the DRM
Consortium, were elected. After 10 years as Chairman of DRM Peter Senger
retired from both DRM and his position as Deutsche Welle's Director DRM. His
successor comes from another well known and respected international
broadcaster, the BBC World Service in London. Mrs. Ruxandra Obreja,
Controller Business Development, BBC World Service has been unanimously
elected as new Chair of the DRM Consortium and DRM Association.
The voting took place in Bonn at the premises of the long time DRM member
and well known broadcaster Deutsche Welle. There was a great round of
applause from the members of the Consortium for Mr. Peter Senger who, as
Chairman of the Consortium, for the past ten years made an enormous
contribution to the development of the DRM standard. The new Chair Mrs.
Ruxandra Obreja introduced her vision to the members in a short
presentation. She stated that: "DRM is on the threshold of a new era. Thanks
to the brilliant work of our technical colleagues over the past ten years,
the DRM standard is now mature. The challenge for all of us is to ensure
that in the next few years the DRM standard is taken up on a mass scale. I
see this as both the biggest challenge for the consortium and me
personally."
The DRM consortium greatly appreciates the offer of the BBC to take the lead
in this enterprise announcing that it is ready to host the DRM Project
Office in London.
