At the moment the lead of the SONM project is Sergey Ponomarev, lead developer of the SONM platform and CTO. At the moment our key goal is the platform development.
Later SONM team will hire a competent CEO to handle project management, public relations, HR, etc. 

Andrey Voronkov is still the SONM project co-founder and adviser.

In a few days we'll announce the next edition of the SONM whitepaper.

We received very valuable feedback on the previous SONM whitepaper edition from the cryptocommunity and from crypto\blockchain\grid experts.
Due to this feedback, we decided to split the WP into 2 parts: Technical Whitepaper & Financial Whitepaper.

• Technical whitepaper contains the essential info about the SONM architecture, API and code examples, technical roadmap, system modules implementation roadmap, timeline, etc. Pure tech.
• Financial roadmap contains the financial and marketing model of the SONM platform, monetization model, SNM token details and market prognosis, PreICO and ICO details, crowdfunding funds allocation structure, detailed costs plan, market analysis, etc

We believe, this WP separation will make it more clear and easier to understand:

Tech guys are not interested in reading market analysis and financial plan - they want to know how will the SONM platform be implemented from the tech point of view.
Non-it investors want to know how SONM will monetize the platform, crowdfunding funds allocation, what are the benefits of investing in the PreICO\ICO, etc.

Also, in a few days we'll announce the exact date of the PreICO start.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the attention to our project.
