Jeff, OSGeo Board,<br>
I'm finding it difficult to engage effectively with the OSGeo Board
in a timely manner and am looking for suggestions on how to improve
that.<br>
<br>
Is the OSGeo-Board email list still the best forum to discuss ideas?<br>
Would it be easier if I wrote more concisely, and less often? (Try
to increase signal-to-noise ratio)?<br>
Maybe limit to specific proposals: "I propose the OSGeo board
support ..."?<br>
Maybe not ask as much of the OSGeo Board?<br>
<br>
I'm asking following on from discussion about the Open LIDAR Letter,
which had significant discussion, across a number of email lists, as
well as private discussions. I'm hoping we can learn and improve.<br>
<br>
Next, I'm hoping we can finalise an OSGeo Code of Conduct /
Diversity Statement, and am interested to know whether board members
want to be involved in this? I'm hoping that there is still
sufficient energy to take this through to completion.<br>

<div>Hi Jeff, as per below, I note that you prefer to discuss
emails in public. I'm cool with that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this case, I emailed yourself, CC public board list. I
followed up with a private reminder email as I thought you
might have forgotten the email, or lost it in an email folder
somewhere. (I note you are usually more responsive).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for responding with your thoughts. It helps to
understand where you are coming from rather than guessing to
know if you have received the email or not.</div>

OSGeo Board for next steps, and we can discuss openly. <br>

<br>
Thanks for adding the cover letter to the LiDAR Open
Letter.
<br>
<br>
The second part of this motion was for the OSGeo
President to email the
<br>
letter to the OGC, ESRI and ASPRS. (Suggested email
addresses are toward
<br>
the bottom of this email thread).
<br>
<br>
Would you mind CCing a public archived email list
(probably the board
<br>
list) so that we have an official record of the Open
Letter being
<br>
delivered. (Alternatively, you can forward, or notify
the list instead).
<br>
<br>
Hopefully any response you receive will also be sent to
the public list.
<br>
If not, can you please ask if you can share the response
publicly.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Cameron </blockquote>
