OSGeo Board,<br>
<br>
Could you all please vote on the following.<br>
Following feedback from the OSGeo discuss and board email lists, I'm
now submitting the following proposed updates to the process for
selection of new OSGeo Charter members.<br>
<br>
+1 Cameron<br>
<br>
<i>1a. Charter member to nominate potential new charter member(s)
(as before).</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>1b. A person who meets the "Positive Attributes for Charter
Members" [1]</i><i>, may ask a charter member who can vouch for
the person to nominate them.<br>
<br>
</i><i>2. Charter members then vote (in/out/</i><i><b>abstain</b></i><i>)
nominated charter members. This will be different to prior years,
as we previously voted in a fixed number of members for a larger
selection pool. (eg vote in 20 people from a list of 30). For this
year, I propose we have a "Yes/No/<b>Abstain</b>" vote. Ie, if we
have a list of 30 candidates, we will ask all charter members to
vote Yes or No or Abstain against each candidate. Each candidate
with </i><i><b>more YES votes than NO votes, as well as greater
than 5% of charter members who voted</b></i><i> will be included
as new charter members.</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>3. Charter members would be guided to select candidates who
fit the "Positive Attributes for Charter Members" [1] </i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>4. There will be no limit to the number of new charter
members who can be selected. This will require an update of <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process</a></i><i><br>
