As an officer who has done next to nothing for his role for the last couple years, I would certainly be willing to man the <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org">info@osgeo.org</a> address as well. As a halfway point between what is done presently and something along the lines of what Jeff was suggesting, it might make sense to make sure we maintain contacts for all the local chapters and projects so that the folks directly manning <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org">info@osgeo.org</a> can easily forward messages to the most appropriate folks (and we should work with the projects/chapters to identify a policy like CCing <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org">info@osgeo.org</a> to make sure the folks manning <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org">info@osgeo.org</a> know it has been responded to).<div>

My initial thought is that info@ should be routed to all Board members. Or, how<br>
about all local chapter chairs? Just thinking out loud. oh and to Howard :)<br>

Jeff,<br>

I'm concerned that routing it widely so disperses the responsibility to reply<br>
that things might end up dropping on the floor. It also raises the likelyhood<br>
that things would get replied to several times.<br>
<br>
I have also been in the practice of cc:ing <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org" target="_blank">info@osgeo.org</a> with the new<br>
passwords after a password reset and it wouldn't be great to have those<br>
going really widely but I could change that practice somewhat.<br>
<br>
I'd be more comfortable having <a href="mailto:info@osgeo.org" target="_blank">info@osgeo.org</a> go to 2-3 people but obviously<br>
I would accept the direction of the board on the matter.<br>
<br>
I'm going to take up Mark on his offer to assist.<div class="im"><br>

I am not really clear what it even means to "man Twitter". Is the idea<br>
that we are tweeting little things about OSGeo? Is this another announcement<br>
outlet? Or is this some sort of administrative role? I'm woefully ignorant<br>
when it comes to Twitter which I have pretty much ignored so far in my life.<div class="im"><br>
