<div class="moz-cite-prefix">+1 for chair to have 1.5 votes.<br>
<br>
David, I see this as a vote for the conference committee to decide
how to avoid a tie breaker. It is not involving the board in the
CC list.<br>
<br>
However, I'd suggest that a chair having 1.5 votes would be
something that all OSGeo committees would benefit from adopting.<br>
