<p>Dear OSGeo-Board,</p>
<p>as both teams agreed, the conference committee extended the period for preparation of the proposals for FOSS4G2019. The new deadline for proposals now is the 4th of December, the q&a period lasts until 15th of December. After this the conference committee
will vote on the proposals. See the corresponding emails below.</p>
<p>We will send the official result to the Board on December 18. The procedure foresees that the Board will then vote on the Conference Committee's proposal. I would please you to consider to vote promptly after our vote, so that we are able to inform the teams
before Christmas.</p>
<p>Since Vasile and Maria represent both chairs of the respective LOCs on the board, I would suggest that both abstain from this vote, but of course this is matter of the Board, not mine.</p>

<p>Dear Conference Comittee, SLOC and BLOC!</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
As the Spanish team and some of our committee members have agreed (and there have been no dissenting votes) I would like to announce that the time period for submitting the proposals for RfP2019 has been extended by one week. The new deadline for the proposals
is now <b>4th of December</b>.<br>
<br>
I have changed the corresponding pages in the WIKI [1] and shortened the question phase by three days (until 15th of December). This allows the Board to approve the election of the Conference Committee before Christmas.<br>
<br>
***Note for the voting members***<br>
!! Please note, that the final vote on the proposals takes place between 15th and 17th of December !!
<br>
Be preapred and please vote, no matter where you are !!!</p>

<p>Maria,</p>
<p>I am happy, that you agree (and to be honest, I expected that more or less ;-)).</p>
<p>I do not want to support any kinds of "election campaigns" here, so I feel that I have to clarify up some things about your notice in the 2nd part of your email:</p>
<p>The idea and the initiative for this extension are 100% based on my personal thoughts, nothing else. No one of BLOC asked me to do that, so there is no need to be surprised ;-).
<br>
I just remembered the time when we @Bonn prepared our proposal. Although such a proposal is the sum of work of many people, in the end it was me to write major parts and that *might* be the same for SLOC and BLOC. I say *might* because I do not want to start
any discussion on this here & now. I also think, that the internal organisation is a matter of the [_]LOCs.
</p>
<p>!! If this extension of the proposal period leaves any bland flavour, we shouldn't do it !!</p>
<p>In general I am quite sure, that the Romanian and also the Spanish communties are big and well organized. My intention (and my job) is to guarantee a fair competition among the teams.</p>

Dear Conference Committee, dear Maria as representant of the Sevilla<br>
team (SLOC)!<br>
<br>
I think you all have seen, that Vasile, the CRO of the recently finished<br>
board votings had a lot TODO's around the voting procedure. Many of<br>
these time consuming issues couldn't be foreseen due to all the<br>
happenings around the voting period.<br>
<br>
The point is, that Vasile is also foreseen as chair of the Bucharest<br>
team for Rfp 2019 (BLOC). Having noticed all this, I asked Vasile, if he<br>
would agree me proposing to extent the proposal period for Rfp 2019 by<br>
one week. This to give especially him some more time to prepare the<br>
proposal without running into a hastle. Of course provided that SLOC agrees!<br>
<br>
I think it's only fair and we should give BLOC the chance to make a good<br>
proposal for a fair competition between SLOC and BLOC. In general that<br>
would mean, that all the dates mentioned on [1] would slip back a week,<br>
but we still would be able to present the location for 2019 by Christmas<br>
(if the board would find a date for their final decision). We also could<br>
shorten the question period by a few days, so the board has more options.<br>
<br>
So first I'd like to ask you Maria, as representant of SLOC, what your<br>
thoughts on this are? Can we agree on this proposal?</p>
