Hi all, As part of the effort to formalise the entity that is OSM Ireland, we have created an interim board whose sole purpose is to establish a legal entity for the organisation.
The following people have already been nominated and agreed: - Tadeusz Cantwell - Donal Hunt - Ciaran Staunton We are now looking for 2 additional people to be nominated and seconded to support the work over the next 2-3 months. Once the legal entity is formed, the board will stand down and a new board will be elected. There is a no onus on the members of interim board to run for re-election. If you're passionate about OSM and are willing to spare some time to develop a robust, ethical and sustainable organisation that the Irish OSM community can be proud of, please put yourself forward. Experience of being a director is helpful but not mandatory. Diversity will be championed - we need a board that represents the community so please contact Tad, Ciaran or myself privately if you feel that is appropriate.
