Tyler,
Is voting started now on new Charter Members? My understanding was
that this was to begin right after nominations were completed.
Could you send an update to the discuss list on next steps?
Thanks,
Dave

* Nominations for new Charter Members is now open *
The Board of Directors has asked me to coordinate the election of
up to 15 new Charter Members[1]. The process they have approved is
described here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/New_Membership_Process.
I am filling the Chief Returning Officer (CRO) role.
Charter Members are the legal/official voting members of the
organisation. Because OSGeo is an incorporated legal entity, these
positions are important because they elect the Board that manages
the organisation. Vacant board positions can only be filled by
Charter Members. Therefore, the board has decided to first
increase the number of Charter Members and then to proceed with
Board elections.
This is the official notice announcing that nominations for new
Charter Members is now open. Nominations must be sent to the Chief
Returning Office address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please include:
* full name of the nominee
* email address and phone number of nominee, if known
* short paragraph describing why you are nominating them. Please
refer to [2] for a list of Positive Attributes for new charter
members.
* you are allowed to nominate yourself
Nominations will be accepted from May 25 - June 3. Anyone can
submit a nomination. I will contact the nominees directly to
verify their willingness to be nominated. When this confirmation
process is complete, a list of nominees will be posted and the 10
day voting process started. Voting will be done by current Charter
Members. During the voting period, there will be time for
discussing nominees and their contributions using this OSGeo
mailing list.
Multiple nominations for the same person are welcome. I will
update this page as I receive nominations:
