[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

Congratulations to all the new board members! I really hope new board members 
bring in new insights to OSGeo. My expectation is quite great now! Also I’d 
like to express my deep gratitude to the person who nominated, supported me 
during the election. It was my great honor to have served as a board member for 
last 2 years and I’m very happy now that I can come back to my original jobs.

Cheers,

Hey Maria,

Sorry for the mistake. I was doing that during a very dense conference. 
Anyway, I did not make the same mistake on the wiki page (I did another 
one but this is not the point now :)


Welcome to the board!

Best,
Vasile

PS Enjoy the wonderful Argentinian asado! I have terrible flash backs!

noticeable.

Congratulations for all the new (and not so new) board members.

Thanks to all candidats who volunteer as being a board member, that is a
big commitment and I hope you will keep bringing that energy into FOSS(4G).

Thanks Vasile for the amazing work as CRO. Especially this year with all
those unforeseen developments.

I'm really looking to work with the OSGEO community this year.

Congratulations to the new elected members, huge gratitude and respect to

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Elections 2017 from the CRO point of view

[Jody Garnett]

I will be able to make it to for tomorrow 14:00 UTC, assume we are meeting
on the IRC channel.

1) Several recommendations were on offer

a) *Change the existing membership process with another one more balanced,
that assures both inclusiveness and a consistent weight for the charter
member position*

I believe that we can do a better job communicating our expectations from a
nomination to better match the "positive attributes" expected of charter
membership (perhaps example emails), and encourage members to respond with
more than a simple "+1" to better understand the strengths of those
nominated as a charter member.

I am not sure how we can encourage discussion, we are quite obviously
discussing individuals and have a chance of any discussion being taken
personally. Because of this handicap we must lean on the nomination process
to better represent the nominated individual.

I would also ask that we not summarize the membership process
 and instead trust our
voting members to review the page as written.

*(b) Impose a a very light template for the new nominations*

Agreed, To that aim I propose the following example email be added to the
membership process page for use in next years elections:

   - Please email c...@osgeo.org with *contact name*, *contact email
*and *paragraph
   and/or checklist describing why you are recommending this person and how
   they demonstrate the positive attributes expected of charter members*.

*CRO:*

*I would like to nominate Jane Doe as a voting member:*

*Jane Doe*

*j...@osgeo.org *

*Jane is a passionate researcher using open source as part of her thesis
work into rapid hydrology analysis. As part of her thesis she has developed
an open source plugin QGIS and become a passionate advocate speaking at GIS
Day and helping organize a local foss4g installfest event.*









*belief: Jane has demonstrated her belief in open source adopting the
principles of open geoscience for her research work. Her most recent paper
on aquifer depression provided a code examples of the analysis performed
along with the data used for her study.participation: Jane is a passionate
advocate speaking at GIS day and helping organizing a local foss4g
event.contributor: Jane has developed an open source QGIS plugin as part of
her ongoing thesis work. She has also taken part in code sprint activities
contributing to plugin documentation for the QGIS 3.0 release.volunteer:
Jane has devoted her own time to organizing a local foss4g installfest
event (link) and contributing to the plugin documentation for the QGIS 3.0
release (pull request).team work: Jane has demonstrated good teamwork
skills as part of the organizing committee for a local foss4g installfest
event.*


*(c) Rephrase responsibility no. 3 of the charter members*

Proposed wording:

*3. Our nomination process is inclusive by nature and we ask that care be
taken to preserve the long term goals and vision of OSGeo as an
organization. We seek to remain balanced, rather than driven by any single
group or viewpoint, and ask that you consider this balance during the
nomination process.*


(The wording is not perfect but it is a start).

*2) potential conflict of interest*

I am comfortable that any potential conflict of interest was handled
appropriately by Jeff withdrawing as co-CRO. I trust Jeff's character and
am satisfied with the response and clarifications offered on the discussion
list.

I am in favour of accepting the recommendation that anyone acting as CRO,
or assisting with the elections in any capacity, is not eligible to accept
a nomination.

To that aim I propose the following wording for tomorrows meeting:





* - Email a nomination, consisting of name, current country of residence
and a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good
Board member, to c...@osgeo.org  by the end of the nomination
period. - The CRO will double check with the person that they would like to
stand for election as a Board member, and understand that once nominated
they may not withdraw from the process out of respect for participants.-
The CRO will confirm they are eligible to stand for election, the anyone
assisting with the election process is not eligible to stand for election-
Remember that only the Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the Board
and voting but that anybody can nominate a board member. - The final list
will be collected at  *
*3) create a clear rule stating that an accepted nomination cannot be
withdraw after the start of the voting period. *

I added the sanity check to the nomination process example above, but like
Sanghee I am *uncomfortable asking a volunteer to hold to a commitment that
they no longer feel they can meet*.  I think the best we can do is ask for
that solid commitment during the nomination process, and ask that they
notify the CRO if their circumstances change during the election period.
