Dear list,<br>
<br>
I agree with Stevens proposal: 16 mostly FOSS4G-experienced members,
that care for selection and accompany future FOSS4G teams are quite
enough for that single task. <br>
Also: The bigger the committee, the larger the email discussions ..
;-)<br>
<br>
Just one word to Camerons proposal: He asked me before and I agreed
to chair the committee, IF the committee a) needs a chair and b) if
the committee wants me to do the job.<br>
In my eyes the "chair" is more the person, that cares for a standard
operating procedure of the selection process, but has no power
itself.<br>
<br>
I have no opinion whether to vote the number of members or a chair
first, but would like to get that clarified before the next
selection process starts. <br>
<br>
<br>
Regards, Till<br>

Answering for myself only, as Venka named me in his mail

<div class="">We currently have 16 members of the committee of

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">IMO that is a large, experienced and well

<div class="">Our newly adopted rules would allow for some

existing members and then let the chair propose increasing the
size of the committee or not.</div>

Hi all,<br class="">
<br class="">
At the moment, we don't have a chair for the
conference committee, and I think that it would be
good to address that.<br class="">
<br class="">
Would committee members like to make suggestions?<br
class="">
<br class="">
I'd like to suggest Till Adams. Till has run a
successful FOSS4G conference, I've seen him listen
to people, be diplomatic, and help move ideas
along. I think he'd make a good chair.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thoughts?<br class="">
