I don’t believe Board could set up or apply any single clear governance rule for the whole committees. If there’s any weird(to some) governance procedure in any committees, that’s also the part of the committees’s long history that started before OSGeo. I support the autonomy of each committee which knows the real matter there. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers, </div><div class="">
