I just remembered the time when we @Bonn prepared our proposal.
Although such a proposal is the sum of work of many people, in the
end it was me to write major parts and that *might* be the same
for SLOC and BLOC. I say *might* because I do not want to start
any discussion on this here & now. I also think, that the

Conference Committee, dear Maria as representant of the

team (SLOC)!<br class="">
<br class="">
I think you all have seen, that Vasile, the CRO of the
recently finished<br class="">
board votings had a lot TODO's around the voting
procedure. Many of<br class="">
these time consuming issues couldn't be foreseen due to
all the<br class="">
happenings around the voting period.<br class="">
<br class="">
The point is, that Vasile is also foreseen as chair of the
Bucharest<br class="">
team for Rfp 2019 (BLOC). Having noticed all this, I asked
Vasile, if he<br class="">
would agree me proposing to extent the proposal period for
Rfp 2019 by<br class="">
one week. This to give especially him some more time to
prepare the<br class="">
proposal without running into a hastle. Of course provided
that SLOC agrees!<br class="">
<br class="">
I think it's only fair and we should give BLOC the chance
to make a good<br class="">
proposal for a fair competition between SLOC and BLOC. In
general that<br class="">
would mean, that all the dates mentioned on [1] would slip
back a week,<br class="">
but we still would be able to present the location for
2019 by Christmas<br class="">
(if the board would find a date for their final decision).
We also could<br class="">
shorten the question period by a few days, so the board
has more options.<br class="">
<br class="">
So first I'd like to ask you Maria, as representant of
SLOC, what your<br class="">
thoughts on this are? Can we agree on this proposal?<br class="">

<div class="">Dear Till,</div>

<div class="">What you say makes sense. It is on our best interest to
have good proposals and if BLOC finds they need more time,
I can't refuse. Whatever is needed to have the best
FOSS4G.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Although, I have to say, I am a bit surprised. I heard
romanian community was stronger, not depending so much on
Vasile (even if he is chair). At least for the Spanish
community, we try to be horizontal and not depend on
individuals. </div>

If SLOC agrees, I'd like to ask the voting members of CC
for their<br class="">
statement (Just a question, but do we have to call for a
vote, if SLOC<br class="">
agrees?)<br class="">
<br class="">
I wish you all a nice weekend!<br class="">
