Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination period ended
Excellent list of nominations. Thanks to all candidates and Arnulf for all background work. I strongly support Arnulf's suggestion and hope Board agrees to this proposal. Best wishes, Suchith __ From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Seven (aka Arnulf) [se...@arnulf.us] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 8:39 AM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination period ended -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Folks, the nomination period for new OSGeo Charter Members ended yesterday. A big Thank You to all who actively contributed by nominating candidates and supporting their nominations! Another big Thank You to all candidates for representing their OSGeo community aspect at the board level and for electing a dedicated board of directors. As CRO I am very happy to say that the nomination period worked smoothly (except that almost nobody cared to email the nomination to the CRO address as requested... :-). We now have 22 high level candidates [0] but only 20 open slots, a number which I simply copied over from last year when I prepared the schedule for 2012. As per our New Membership Process [1] we can add between 10% and one third of the existing Charter Membership, in this year this would be 13 to 42 members. My proposal to the board is to accept all 22 members instead of running an election which would simply exclude two potential charter members on a more or less arbitrary basis. Therefore I defer the start of the election process for two days in the hope that the board agrees with my proposal and we do not need to have Charter Member elections at all.
