Not-for-profit
organisation - a term we associate at this time of year with
charitable organisations and the wonderful work they do in bringing
happiness to those less fortunate. It is also a term that identifies
LIXI and the intention of its broad membership. This past year,
LIXI firmly established the recognition of its standard and
is well advanced in making LIXI the prerequisite for all mortgage
lending related software applications.
This year also saw the first issue of this newsletter
and the concept of regular General Meetings [GM], which bring
updates and exposure to the work carried out by LIXI and its
members to a wider audience.
The third AGM was also a success with all board
members returned unopposed for another term. Whilst the Board
continues to work hard, congratulations go to all volunteers
of our working groups who dedicate their time and expertise
to make LIXI happen. It is very exiting to see the LIXI roadmap
extended and find new components of LIXI in production throughout
the lending chain. The 3 minutes with a LIXI developer
was also a success and I know we all look forward to the next
GM (due early Q2 next year) and more insights into how to get
the best out of LIXI.
Membership renewals are also due soon so I encourage
everyone to renew and/or update to full membership and to get
that much more involved in the new membership year. Read a couple
of verbatim quotes from existing members in this newsletter
and you will agree that the LIXI contribution to its members
is indeed both valuable and valued. I also urge you to renew
before December 31 to make matters easy as our limited resources
are best deployed in extending the reach of the standard rather
than chase paper.
Since we are on the topic of digging into our
pockets why not make it a double header and also help one of
those other not-for-profit charity organisations. Seasons Greetings.
