<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As I mentioned in a previous board meeting, we had a reorganization here at Autodesk that has placed the responsibility for geospatial software under someone else. I still work closely with those folks, but my hands-on knowledge about what is going on has been reduced dramatically.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">At the same time, I am emotionally committed to the success of OSGeo, and want to do whatever I can to see it succeed for all of the reasons we discussed before.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I’m doing what I have learned to do in this process, and I am asking you if you’d like me to relinquish my board seat for someone who can take on a more active role. Certainly, no matter what, I will be working with the GIS team here to make sure that OSGeo remains a focus for us as a company, which I continue to do doing one thing or another every week.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Please let me know what you’d like to see me do.</FONT></SPAN></P>
