<div> </div>
<div>according to our websit three persons have already retired before Sara. That's why I am raising the topic, as over the coming years/decades/centuries the number of retirees will continue to grow.</div>
<div>I will provide a proposal in the near future (early 2019?).</div>

<div>As far as I know, this is the first case and we don't have any such thing. It is a good idea, so any draft for this would be appreciated.
<div> </div>
<div>Also we should discuss this inside the GDPR team, because we don't have right now any process to completely remove a person from osgeo. What is being done right now is just mark the person as retired. </div>

<br/>
the recent retirement of Sara Safavi from OSGeo raises issues about missing workflows which remain to be discussed and implemented: Do we have a process / template to express our gratitude to persons leaving our community ? Such folks have a proven standing in the open geospatial community (they were voted for to become Charter members to begin with) and did noticeable volunteer work, each in their own way (-> reflected by the icons of recognition in the OSGeo wiki/website [coder/PSC/charter/committer/etc]). IMHO such commitment deserves due recognition from our side and some kind of documentation might prove usesul for the persons future career path (OSGeo letter of appreciation / certificate ?).<br/>
<br/>
best,<br/>
Peter<br/>
