Hi Sanghee,<br>
You do raise valid points about being clear about conference
committee process.<br>
However, no one has volunteered to write such a process. Maybe you
would like to do so? OSGeo is a "do ocracy".<br>
Without such a process documented, I suggest that we default to
OSGeo's standard voting process across committees. Questions such as
adding a new member is put to the committee. The committee votes,
and decision made based on those votes.<br>
Based on that logic, if no one volunteers to write a process, I
suggest we continue with the vote to decide if Andrea should join
the conference committee.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

Dear Cameron and all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Before voting on this, I think we need to agree on
the governance model of conference committee or how to run the
conference committee. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Maxi expressed his wish to join the conference a
couple of months ago. However there was no enough discussion
whether we should accept him or not or who can be a member of
conference committee. And his asking was just dropped. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now Cameron suddenly has proposed to invite Andrea
to the conference even though there was no explicit her wish to
join the committee.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Actually I’m ok with inviting any person to the
committee who can give fresh mind and contributions to FOSS4G
conference. However I think there should at least minimum fair
guidance who can be a member of the conference to reduce any
other misunderstanding. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Conference Committee is very unique in OSGeo in
terms of very closed membership. That’s why we need to be more
transparent and fair. To somebody, conference committee can be
seen as 'Benevolent Oligarchy’</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m writing this not because Andrea works at
LocationTech but because I feel some unfairness. And there are
efforts to increase the communications between OSGeo and
LocationTech at the board level. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Cheers, </div>

I'd like to propose that we invite Andrea Ross to join
the OSGeo Conference Committee.<br class="">
+1 from me, Cameron Shorter.<br class="">
<br class="">
My reasoning is that Andrea has a lot of experience
running conferences, especially through his involvement
with LocationTech, and there are synergies that could be
gained by aligning OSGeo and LocationTech effectively.<br class="">
<br class="">
I note that there have been concerns aired previously
about LocationTech competing to take over OSGeo's
flagship FOSS4G event. I'm of the opinion that we should
be mindful of this, but we should discuss the options
openly and I believe we can find a solution favourable
for all. An effective way to support this conversation
is to invite Andrea to be one vote among our conference
committee.<br class="">
<br class="">
Warm regards, Cameron<br class="">

It's an opportunity for the Conference Committee and interested people to meet face to face, we could discuss some of the topics on the 'outstanding list' <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_2016_Priorities" class="">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_2016_Priorities</a> and we could start preparing the call for 2018
Anyone interested?
