review_content: The on-line VIVO conference in 2020 was the largest VIVO conference ever, with over 260 participants.  It is not clear that the pandemic was a problem for VIVO or its conference -- perhaps it was a blessing, forcing the community to adopt an alternate meeting strategy which resulted in the inclusion of those previously excluded by the high cost of travel to an in-person meeting.

The VIVO community is growing rapidly outside the US.  The recent Spanish meeting was the largest VIVO meeting ever held.  The EuroCRIS track this year is on Latin America.  The audience might be interested to hear how representation on the leadership group will become less US-centric, and more representative of the diverse VIVO community.

The recent work to significantly improve the internationalization of the software was done primarily by those outside the United States.  How is this work recognized, and how do people doing such work become involved in the governance of the project?
