Jeff,
While I agree with others that you have been very enthusiastic toward
OSGeo ideals, I'm also believe that there are some unanswered questions
which should be addressed.
In particular, a while back you stepped down from the OSGeo Board
mid-term, while you were in the position of OSGeo president. I don't
think a public explanation was provided, but I was aware that there was
some passionate discussion happening in public email lists at the time.
If you are considering sitting on the board again, I think an
explanation should be provided.
Regards, Cameron

It is my honor to nominate Jeff McKenna for the OSGeo Board of
Directors election.
Most of you knows Jeff's energy and passion for everything OSGeo, and
i would probably be mistaken trying to summarize his countless
contributions over the years, at every level of our Foundation. His
leadership and long involvement in the OSGeo and FOSS4G communities
made him the Winner of the Solz Katz Award in 2016, and i cannot add
more. For those of you who may really not know Jeff yet, the
User:Jeff_McKenna wiki page is a good read before you vote.
Jeff already served three times at the board and has a deep
understanding of both the director role and the current OSGeo
strategic plan. Experienced with OSGeo governance and bylaws, Jeff
also knows a lot about projects and people. He is always ready to help
build locally and to represent globally.
Jeff is a great communicator and enthusiastic community leader, and i
believe he will be an excellent OSGeo director again. Please let us
all welcome Jeff back at the Board!
Best regards,
Nicolas Bozon

Jeff McKenna agreed to be nominated and i decided to send the
nomination directly to the Discuss list with cc to CRO, so it avoids
Jeff to confirm to himself that he accepts the nomination. The Board
Nominations page still need to be updated, could you please Vasile ?
Sorry for shortening the nomination process in this special case.
