Dear OSGeo Community, it is time for the 2012 OSGeo elections [1]. As in earlier years we will again first nominate new OSGeo Charter Members with the aim to broaden and diversify OSGeo's global representation.
To start with we have 2 weeks to nominate new candidates. Anybody can nominate candidates, there are no restrictions. After nomination closes on 7 July 2012 we will have the first round of elections. Only Charter Members are eligible to vote. The elections will add up to 20 candidates to the group of currently 125 existing OSGeo Charter Members. In the next round of elections the Charter Members elect directors to the OSGeo board. The board consists of nine seats, 5 of which will be open for this election. Please note that the whole process is scheduled to be completed before the annual global FOSS4G 2012 in Beijing so don't hesitate to become active now. This is your chance to decide who is going to represent your interests in the leadership of OSGeo. Please take your time to read the election process in the Wiki [1] and learn which qualifications are desirable for Charter Members and directors. If anything is unclear or if you have questions, feel free to voice them here on the Discuss list or send them to c...@osgeo.org. All nominations and votes have to be sent to the email address c...@osgeo.org. This year the Chief Returning Officers are Michael Gerlek and Arnulf Christl. Thank you for your contribution! Best regards & have a nice weekend, Your Chief Returning Officers [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2012 -- President, OSGeo http://www.osgeo.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
