Hi Jeff, You're right. Sorry for creating fuzz on this. My suggestion is to give the committees a clear mandate so they can (even better: must) handle issues like this themselves with having to do a round-trip to the Board.

The board quickly voted and agreed to let the Conference Committee decide a proper method for future years. -jeff On 2015-09-26 10:30 AM, Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl wrote: > Good to see we have this election wave going. > @Michael, I'd bet you would be a good discussion moderator for an election debate at FOSS4G 2016 ! > Of course this all closely related to an other thread that are going > on ("osgeo is becoming irrelevant") > > > I'd like to ask our board candidates what their opinion is on the current relationship between the Board and the OSGeo-committees. > In order to make it easier my observation: I get the impression that > the Board spends much time on practical issues (such as the 47 mails > regarding the 200 dollar grant for a Vimeo Pro account) which easily > could be delegated to committees.
