Dear all,
It's time for the 2018 OSGeo Foundation Board Elections.
The nominations for the OSGeo Board of Directors started already
[1]. Please take a minute to understand what the board actually
does[2]. A director should plan to spend several hours a week on OSGeo
business in order to do a good job. The current board members will
know best.
To nominate a candidate for the board please first confirm with the
person that they would like to stand for election as a Board member.
Then send an email to c...@osgeo.org CCing the candidate by 23:59 GMT on
Sunday 11 November 2018[3] consisting of:
- name and e-mail
- current country of residence
- a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good
Board member.
Remember that only Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the
Board and for voting but that *anybody* can *nominate* a board member.
Candidates are encouraged to put their vision and ideas for their term
at Election 2018 Candidate Manifestos [4] and sending them to Discuss
mailing list for further conversation.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Vasile, Vicky & Jorge
