Vasile I think you did more than was expected. With the reminders to
the filed e-mail addresses but also Discuss and the Charter Members
list I think it's enough and if a Charter Member is not following any
of those inputs, it's not the CRO responsibility to try to reach them
by any means. We are lucky to have such a big and broad membership and
every year someone will miss the elections for one reason or another.

Of course it's awesome you took that time to do it but I wouldn't
expect that from future CROs, you've done more than enough my friend.

Cheers.

Dear Gert-Jan,

For sure we will check this year with all the charter members that did 
note vote. Checking with all of them it's really no easy task. It took 
me many many hours in the last two days just to send messages to almost 
100 people (most of them on other channels than the e-mail used in their 
connection with OSGeo). But, you are right, somehow we should have a 
method to make sure we are connected with all our charter members.


Best,
Vasile

Dear charter members,

Your CRO speaking. Please find bellow the board of directors election
status 2 hours before the official voting deadline:

Full responses: 215
Incomplete responses: 7
No response: 58

I decided to extend the voting period until Tuesday midnight (12:00
GMT September 29). Meantime, I will try to get personally in touch
with all the 65 charter members who did vote until now, via all known
electronic means. Actually, some of you already received a "personal
reminder" via different social media.

I'm doing this because:

1. Some of you had a thick agenda in office after vacation or due to
events like FOSS4G.
2. Some of the contacts in our database are not up to date or some
charter members are registered with OSGeo with e-mail addresses that
are not checking on a regular basis anymore.
3. Some of you are no longer involved in geospatial world or no longer
have time for OSGeo. This is totally understandable. If you are in
this position, please consider to step down/retire from the charter
member group. But also, please, let us know.

Best,
Vasile

PS please do not get angry on me if you receive reminders on more than
on channel :)

Hi Jorge,

I know that was not necessary to go that far. For sure I would not 
expect the same from the next CRO. Anyway, I felt that it's necessary to 
clarify the status of some of our members. It's clear that some of the 
old members don't have enough time these days for OSGeo. Also, we have 
members with outdated contacts. And, finally, some members needed a push 
to react :)


Best,
Vasile
