<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear Maria,
(please forward this email to the board list, as I am not registered with
this email adress)
I can confirm that the vote was fair and all voters had the same
informations. I'd invite you to contact also Arnulf and Cameron, the two
CRO's, I am sure, they will confirm also.
Presumably your question comes up, because there was the issue, that Paul
Ramsey was asked to take the program chair of the Calgary LOC in between
both voting stages. So Paul - not member of CLOC - voted on stage 1 but
stepped back on voting for step 2, because that time he was already in
CLOC. He confirmed, that he did not plan to enter CLOC when voting on stage
1 and I see no reason not to trust him as a longterm and earned member of
our community. If that caused the issue, I think the information (and if
wanted, confirmation by the CRO's), that he did not vote on stage 2 should
be fine, right?
Steven and me asked Venka, who brought up the issue with Paul to clarify,
where he sees problems with that, but he did not reply yet (to be correct,
until yesterday evening, as I have no access to my fossgis-emails today).
In my eyes, it's time congratulate the Calgary team and to focus on having
a successful FOSS4G event for the whole community and not to question the
electoral process. If you read all the mails I sent to CC and the voting
members, I can't imagine on how to make the process more transparent. If
there are any suggestions for the future, CC is open to discuss this.
Kind regards, Till

*Betreff: *Re: [OSGeo-Conf] [Board] Final Result on RfP 2020
Dear Till and Conference Committee,
For the board to vote and approve this decision, we would like a short
summary of the process and an explicit clarification that it was fair.
Usually just the short summary would be fine, but as there has been some
concerns raised, we would like an explicit confirmation that all
candidatures had the same opportunities and no classified information,
advantage or unfair help was given to any of them.
For the summary of the process, I think most of it you already sent in
both emails with the news of the outcome of the voting. Just wanted to make
sure there's nothing else worth mentioning or if there's something else we
should publicly record for the future.
As a suggestion, it would be good to clarify the process to make
transparent and clear what happens in case of recusation during the
election process (and if it is possible to do so, on what circunstamces),
so we all know explicitly the rules before entering the process and no one
can suspect unfair game in the future.
Thank you for your work and congratulations to Calgary!
María.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear CC & OSGeo-community,
I just received the final results from our voting CRO's.
They have received 13 votes. Some voters noted that the quality of both
proposals was excellent and that it was difficult to select.
The winning team hosting FOSS4G 2020 is
***Calgary***
Many thanks to the Halifax team for their great effort and great
proposal, also many thanks to the Niagara Falls team, that also handed in a
LoI.
I only can tell everybody, that regardless where the conference takes
place, it is always a pleasure to join and it is always an event for the
whole community!!
Finally I have one wish for christmas: Please support the winning team in
order to have a great event in 2020 in Calgary!
And last but not least - many thanks to our CRO's as well!
Cheers, Till
