Jorge Sanz:
Dear OSGeo community and charter members
This is a reminder that there's still some days for nominations to the
Board of Directors elections. We have already nine great candidates,
including all the present Board members running for re-election. Take
a look at [1] for an overview of the nominations and support
expressions. Maybe there's a candidate that is worth your support or
someone special that you think should run to join our Board?
The other point of this email is to follow up with Gert-Jan
proposal[2] to put a week between the nominations period and the
actual voting to let candidates to express their intentions for their
term.
I'm inclined to accept it because I think is a good idea and no one
has opposed but also because next week I'll be out of the office for
the GEOSTAT course first here in Spain (20/21) and SoTM in Brussels
(22/26) later and I'll be pretty busy.
What do you think? Looking forward for your opinions.
In my humble view, both as an OSGeo charter member and GRASS-GIS' CRO (recently
experienced the
role for the new PSC election), I can only recommend to allow or even ask, in
some way, all candidates to support their candidacy publicly.
For the next GRASS-GIS' PSC election, I support what came out of a related
thread, in a post by Micha Silver (see
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/PSC/Election2016#Aftertheelection):
request (which, I know, is rather a bit strict) candidates to feedback the
community by answering to
the very question (slightly altered)
"What should the community expect from my membership?"
Kindest regards, Nikos
All the best
Jorge
