I'm strongly in favour of allowing newly elected charter members to
become board members, assuming there is community support to vote
the person onto the board.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately there are many very worthy OSGeo community members who
are not charter members yet. I'm hoping to see that change with the
new, more inclusive rules for charter member voting.<br>

happen, that some fresh charter member could not be good choice,

think again: community worked till now, why do you not trust it
any further and why are you thinking of new rules?</p>

<div>We should then state that in order to become board

<div>Hello Board,</div>
<div>I agree that the elections order should be
inverted, from next year.</div>
<div>Someone who just becomes a Charter Member should
not be able to be nominated/elected as a Board
Member just a few days later. It would be way to
fast IMHO.</div>
<div>This may lead to a situation where a newly
elected director may not be ready for the job or may
not be fully aware of related responsibilities and
ethos.</div>
<div>If it is too fast and easy to become director,
then this role may also be depreciated in future,
and i don't think anybody wants that.</div>
