New DRM Steering Board leadership elected.
Hilversum, 25th March 2010: The DRM Consortium has elected its new
leadership for the next two years and agreed its broad strategy based on
continuity, development and growth of the DRM standard worldwide during its
General Assembly held at the headquarters of Radio Netherlands Worldwide
(RNW) in Hilversum, Netherlands.

The Steering Board, which runs the DRM Consortium and sets its strategy and
implementation, now includes five new companies: Digidia, Rfmondial, Nautel,
Christian Vision and Voice of Russia. They join fifteen other companies that
have existing representatives on the Steering Board and together strengthen
the Consortium.

Ruxandra Obreja, Head of Digital Radio Development, BBC World Service was
re-elected as the Chairperson of the DRM Consortium for the next two years.
The Steering Board also elected two vice Chairs - Jochen Huber, Transradio
and Ludo Maes, TDP. Lindsay Cornell, BBC and Michel Penneroux, TDF were
re-elected Technical and Committee chairpersons respectively. Alexander
Zink, Fraunhofer Institute, was confirmed as Treasurer of the Consortium for
the next two years.

The two day conference (24th-25th March 2010) was attended by many DRM
members and supporters from around the world who not only took part in the
elections but discussed the progress of DRM technology and the challenges
faced by the introduction of digital radio in general and DRM in particular.
All members unanimously agreed that DRM has made great progress in the
recent years including minimum receiver requirements, the extension of the
DRM standard to include DRM+ and official adoption of the standard in Russia
and India. The assembly urged receiver manufacturers not to overlook the
growing demand for digital receivers and to bring appropriate products to
the market.

The General Assembly is the largest decision-making body of the DRM
Consortium which meets every two years for an extraordinary meeting to elect
the governing bodies and representatives to oversee Consortium's activities
in spreading the use and take-up of DRM digital radio technology.
