Yes, I agree with Arnulf's blog (if you read to the end).
We already have a global representation group which provides an
excellent forums for international OSGeo discussions in this osgeo
discuss email list.

Hi I can't be more agree with we should seek the best people to
represent the foundation, based on the merits and commitment with the
usual free software values, rather than a geographic representation. Of

that FOSS4G is spreading and OSGeo is getting more and more broader.
Since there are only a few open positions for board elections each
year, it will take some time to see any long term movement in
representation either way. In addition to to "merits and commitment" I
would also add "vision" to the list of positive attributes for board
members.
One thing that I think would be useful right away would be to start a
group made up of one representative from each local chapter - a sort of
global council. This doesn't have to be a new or separate mailing list,
but could be. Just having a group to go to for sharing thoughts, ideas
and vision would be really valuable. Sound good?

Yes.
I didn't want to let this pass uncommented. But yet again I was too
elaborate and thus moved it to my emerging http://arnulf.us/Blog
Best regards,
Arnulf.
