Dear all,
I'd like to let you know that all the nominated persons got seconded (no
veto recorded) and after the board formal approval they will all be
officially recognized as OSGeo charter members. However, because of the
large number of nominations, we a slight delay in our 2017 elections
initial schedule. That's why I propose you to postpone until next Monday
the start of the new board members elections. This will give us time to
properly update the charter member database and for the board to
validate the new members. Also, due to the high number of emails managed
by the CROs during the last weeks, one nomination was not processed. We
would like to express our most sincerer apologies for this unfortunate
situation. To fix this, we propose to make an exception, to accept the
nomination and to allow 24 hours for the community to review/second the
nomination.
Thank you all for supporting OSGeo!
Best regards,
Vasile & Jeff

Dear all,
Please let us give you some updates on the membership process (charter
members nomination) [1]. Until now we got 50 nominations. 40 nominees
already confirm the nomination and that was reflected on this mailing
list and the New Member Nominations 2017 wiki page [2]. Please be
aware that the table is not reflecting yet all the endorsements
received by the nominees. It's quite challenging to keep up with that.
This information will be updated during the weekend and one more time
before the nomination period end. Also, the user profile link was not
included for the nominees. This will also be reviewed during the
weekend. Some people raise concerns about the phrase "be aware of and
protect against a hostile takeover of OSGeo". The reasons for this
wording were explained by some of our colleagues here and the subject
will be included in one of the next board meetings. That's all for the
moment. Thank you for caring about our community!
Best regards,
