 Welcome to the Hyperledger Global Forum 2022. After a lapse of two and a half years, we are meeting again, and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to this conference, fellow open-sourcers and friends. What can I say about the events that were swirling around us even last week? It is a wonderful thing that so many people are here. We are here to talk about the program committee and how the talks and presentations were chosen and what kind of principles animated those choices. Jyoti will talk more about the principles. I'm here basically to tell you that my name is Vipin Bharathan. I've been associated with Hyperledger since it started, the first ever remote meeting of Hyperledger before it was formally constituted. I attended that. I'm also the chair of the identity working group, the financial markets SIG. I'm also a Hyperledger ambassador. I'm a lab steward. I was in the speaker's list for Hyperledger, so basically I'm steeped in Hyperledger. I just wanted to introduce the people in the program committee. As you can see, there are a number of people including now Jyoti and Kamlesh. These are people who I've dealt with either remotely or in person on many forums. For example, Rafael Belchior, who's the interoperability guru. I read his paper and I used it in other places. Now, I hand over to Jyoti for the program committee. Good morning everyone. My name is Jyoti Panupali. I am a director of blockchain technology from DTCC. I have also been a Hyperledger foundation community member for five years, Dallas Meetups co-organizer for three plus years and the first time program committee member with honor. The 18 members that you see up there are the program committee members for year 2022. Each of the program committee members' responsibilities to review the call for proposals and select the content that makes Hyperledger Global Forum a successful event. The program committee members are guided by the foundation's code of conduct and we follow a strict process integrative which is at the core of the entire process. To avoid conflict of interest, just so everyone knows, each committee member recuses themselves from reviewing their own presentations as well as their colleagues and to also include the relevance of content. There's a strict selection criteria that we follow based on originality of the content, the presentations, the quality of presentations, the diversity. As Daniela says, all are welcome here and that's our biggest guiding force so we ensure the diversity is also included be it gender, be it geography, be it industry, be it company and most of all, being a program committee member, especially with respect to the quality of content, I am super excited this year because we got close to 190-200 presentations but we were only allowed to choose 102 so it was a very, very tough choice folks. Personally, I will be challenged choosing which parallel track I will be sitting through for the next three days and I bet you guys will be challenged as well. We have 33 business tracks and 22 technical tracks so there's a lot of fun content in the mix. What are you excited about, Vipin? Well, meeting people, which is always a great pleasure and of course, this is the time to introduce Daniela Barbosa, general manager of the blockchain identity and healthcare, too many things to list. Thank you, Daniela, for leading us into this new future. Awesome, Vipin, thank you so much for all the work that you do for our community. It's really fantastic and you are a core of it and Joti as well over the last five years and you're fantastic and wonderful.
