Hi Bart, I think I had something like 10-12 interactions on this subject. But is not that number but the fact that most of the people I discuss with had previous discussions in the local/project community they belong and that this critics have a larger number of supporters. Best, Vasile On

Dear Tom, I understand the way you are feeling and I know that are reasons for that. I remember that I had some hard time when I did wrote that part of my email. However, this was reported my many persons and I had to include this in my message. Anyway, I don't think that a single old OSGeo

Very good point Tom. The only public complaint I've seen about the new process was in this board meeting by Jeff: http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeo/%23osgeo.2017-10-05.log [1] Vasile, can you maybe shed some light on how many people actually complained about it? Personally I don't think

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

Dear Board directors and dear members of OSGeo community, This year elections [1] will end in less than 7 hours and it is time for me, as CRO, to make a short assessment and to issue a few recommendations. As you all know, during the process we had a few situations that caused tension and

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Elections 2017: roles and positions

Hi Gert-Jan, I had tried to answer this question in my original manifesto, the original words are still there in that section you referenced, where I volunteer to help with the leadership of OSGeo and also stress the importance of the 'executive Board' (President, Vice Presidents) to help

[OSGeo-Discuss] Elections 2017: roles and positions

Hi all, One of the questions asked to our nominees to write down in their Manifesto is "which role you wish to fulfil in the Board". Apparently a though question, since not answered by some candidates. Only Vicky hinted towards wanting to be an officer (Chair of the Board, President,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] elections 2017: proposal to postpone opening of the polling stations

Thanks Vasile, I was concerned we had stuffed things up by not acting in a timely fashion I am glad the election is not disrupted. I concur that the board has no input into the process, unless asked by the CRO to review candidates flagged for discussion (which did not occur.) -- Jody Garnett

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] elections 2017: proposal to postpone opening of the polling stations

Hi Jody, Gert-Jan, Maxi, Steven and others, I will start with Jody's message. It's true that the charter members list on the OSGeo website was updated only yesterday. However, this has no impact on the voting system which is not using the web page list but the tables from OSGeo Dropbox

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] elections 2017: proposal to postpone opening of the polling stations

Gert-Jan: More seriously although the nomination process for members was completed, and accepted by the board, the list of voting members was only updated last night. I would be happy to formally request the CRO for an extension for one week - as we have some 70 individuals who have not been

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] elections 2017: proposal to postpone opening of the polling stations

Dear Cro, I'd like you keep the deadlines as planned and don't change the rules after the game started. Candidates and charter members knew the time frame and managed their time accordingly. I suggest to keep it as lesson learned and eventually update the next elections with extended time. Best
