Gert-Jan, here my first draft: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2017_Candidate_Manifestos#Dirk_Frigne
And for your question to all: As of today I believe more in a strong board as a team, than representatives from several regions. I think the representation from the different regions should come from the local chapters who can act as officers with the board. The reason imho: today we are in the transformation of an OSGeo 2.0. A strong team that can support this transition is the main focus today, I think. Just my 2c. Dirk.
