<p>The OSGeo Representative can speak on OSGeo’s behalf in the
absense of other representatives or board members present . In
this role an OSGeo Representative represents OSGeo official as a
“VP, OSGeo Representative”.<br>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
</div>
I wrote a piece of news (not public yet) about OSGeo
Representative. I will then write a couple more about
the chosen ones once this is published. <br>
<br>
</div>
Any suggestions about the wording before releasing into
public? <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=7926&action=edit" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=7926&action=edit</a><br>
<br>
</div>
I tried to follow Yoast suggestions on readability and SEO,
but I don't know how to reword it more without losing the
intention/content.<br>
<br>
</div>
I will publish it tomorrow. No big issue if you can't review,
just wanted a last review.<br>
<br>
