While I don’t have a problem with open meetings, I had to leave this Board meeting before this decision was made and feel blindsided by it. There’s no context that I can find in the minutes behind the decision.
I suggest that in the future when we make these kinds of major decisions that we explicitly minute a motion, with movers and seconders and a vote, or put them on Loomio still. I don’t think that a decision that makes us more open gets to skip the process. On Tue, 6 Apr 2021 at 2:24 pm, John Bryant <johnwbry...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well done OSGeo Oceania!
