What we deliver to the Board is not simply a vote, but we also provide a conversation, recorded on this list, that expresses any thoughts and concerns we all have based on our experiences running FOSS4G's and other events.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
