Thanks for your comment. I have a different opinion. People with more than 40 years can apply. Moeover the scores will be compensated by their experience, as there are also scores for this:
1. Proposer’s documented experience in education and training: 20 (max) And I believe that, for a person with experience, it is easier to write a better proposal (40 scores). In my opinion, on the opposite, our choice goes into the direction of being inclusive with young people. Anyhow there is a Code of Conduct Committee. If they decided that the criteria as a whole are against inclusion, we would change as they propose.

It seems to run counter to the OSGeo Goal of: "be a welcoming and inclusive worldwide organization at all levels;" Not to mention the Code of Conduct: "OSGeo welcomes and encourages participation by everyone" - as long as you're young?
