Valid point. However, I do see it as our role as a board to THINK<b>
</b>through these important issues, and then to DECIDE what we
think is in the best interests of OSGeo, and then ACT, following
through on the best course of action for OSGeo.<br>
<br>
In this case, I feel that signing this letter is in the best
interests of OSGeo, and if members of the board agree, then the
each should be taking leadership in that regard.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
not sure, if this is necessary: Board wants to "highlight concerns", but
each member of the board does not necessary have to agree with the
letter (either with its formulation, or with its content).
Of course, it would be nice, to have it signed by all board members.
