<br>
Following the discussions from the last board meeting, I forward this motion to you:<br>
<br>
Organize the 2016 OSGeo charter and board members elections with the following calendar:<br>
<br>
— 2016-07-04 to 2016-07-24 for new charter members;<br>
— 2016-09-05 to 2016-09-25 for board open positions.<br>
<br>
My reasons for starting a motion and not a discussion for the calendar are listed bellow:<br>
<br>
- Elections in August is not a very good idea due to vacation time (especially in Europe);<br>
- Reversing the order of elections is also not a good idea as the new charter members will have to wait for an entire year in order to be able to vote;<br>
- The time is too short for newly elected members to really plan a trip to Bonn. More, some of the continuing members will not attend the conference. I think is better to have our annual face-to-face meeting announced well ahead, at a time where all the directors can go, like the meeting we had in January. Even if this is more expensive for the foundation. A meeting is still possible in Bonn for the attending directors, with skype/hangout connections for the others.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
