<p>Dear Conference Comittee, SLOC and BLOC!</p>
As the Spanish team and some of our committee members have agreed
(and there have been no dissenting votes) I would like to announce
that the time period for submitting the proposals for RfP2019 has
been extended by one week. The new deadline for the proposals is now
<b>4th of December</b>.<br>
<br>
I have changed the corresponding pages in the WIKI [1] and shortened
the question phase by three days (until 15th of December). This
allows the Board to approve the election of the Conference Committee
before Christmas.<br>
<br>
***Note for the voting members***<br>
!! Please note, that the final vote on the proposals takes place
between 15th and 17th of December !! <br>
Be preapred and please vote, no matter where you are !!!<br>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regards, Till<br>
</p>

<p>Maria,</p>
<p>I am happy, that you agree (and to be honest, I expected that
more or less ;-)).</p>
<p>I do not want to support any kinds of "election campaigns"
here, so I feel that I have to clarify up some things about your
notice in the 2nd part of your email:</p>
<p>The idea and the initiative for this extension are 100% based
on my personal thoughts, nothing else. No one of BLOC asked me
to do that, so there is no need to be surprised ;-). <br>
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 internal organisation is a matter of the [_]LOCs. <br>
</p>
<p>!! If this extension of the proposal period leaves any bland
flavour, we shouldn't do it !!<br>
</p>
<p>In general I am quite sure, that the Romanian and also the
Spanish communties are big and well organized. My intention (and
my job) is to guarantee a fair competition among the teams.</p>

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

<div>Dear Till,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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>
statement (Just a question, but do we have to call for a
vote, if SLOC<br>
agrees?)<br>
<br>
I wish you all a nice weekend!<br>
