<BR>
One further follow up from the board meeting--<BR>
<BR>
In reviewing the proposed bylaws, both Frank and Markus had some issues<BR>
with the provisions of Article VI governing the establishment of Project<BR>
Steering Committees. Principally the comments revolved around:<BR>
<BR>
- the requirement that the board appoint all members of PSCs<BR>
- limiting PSC memberships to one year terms<BR>
<BR>
I made some slight modifications to Article VI to permit the chairperson<BR>
of the PSC to staff up the committee, and to delete the reference to the<BR>
one year term. See changes here:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php?title=Draft_OSGEO_Bylaws&diff=1734">http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php?title=Draft_OSGEO_Bylaws&diff=1734</A><BR>
&oldid=1576<BR>
<BR>
I think at least the first of these changes is necessary because thus<BR>
far (and conceivably going forward), the board has only appointed the<BR>
chair of committees but has not appointed any other members. I had<BR>
hoped to implement these changes after the discussion at today's<BR>
meeting, but a motion was made to adopt the bylaws before I had a chance<BR>
to do so.<BR>
<BR>
Do any of you have an issue with these two small modifications? If not,<BR>
I would propose we make them in the final "approved" version of the<BR>
bylaws.<BR>
