Thanks Andrew! I'm hopeful this will be seen as a positive move, taken in the spirit it's intended - to enable and empower the OSM and open source geospatial communities to work together with common purpose.
For this new organisation (OSGeo Oceania) to legitimately claim to represent the OSM community, it will certainly need ongoing engagement from OSM people from around the region. Ideally this will include active participation in the governance & management of the organisation. Representation of the OSM community on the board of the new org is explicitly stated as an objective in the newly-written Terms of Reference <https://drive.google.com/open?id=13aZ6L08ke1-l32I7c00MahyEKgxeZkq8>. Looking forward to carrying on the discussion. Cheers! John
