</span>In my opinion, that is not a nomination. That is a tangential<br>
off-topic commentary. Reviewing how we operate,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee#Decisions" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>Conference_Committee#Decisions</a> see #3<br>
<br>
" ...clearly designated separate mail thread over a minimum of 2<br>
business days with a minimum participation of 3 votes."<br>
<br>
The subject of that thread is: "[OSGeo-Conf] [Board] [FOSS4G-2019 RFP]<br>
Re: f2f meeting follow up" which sounds nothing like "MOTION: nominate<br>
Michael Terner to Conference Committee"<br>
<br>
Even if it was a nomination, I don't think that it attracted any<br>
responses so therefore would have failed due to lack of participation.<br>
<br>
That might have been due to the focus on "[OSGeo-Conf] Start 2019 RFP<br>
/ Board discussion about RFP for FOSS4G-2019",<br>
<a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference_dev/2017-August/004440.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/<wbr>pipermail/conference_dev/2017-<wbr>August/004440.html</a><br>
<br>
It also would have been difficult to complete membership changes<br>
before the RFP process and it is a bad idea to run them at the same<br>
time.<br>

<br>
This is closer to a proper nomination and motion. Why it didn't<br>
attract any participation is uncertain.<br>
<br>
<br>
It looks like we should maybe review our membership process that we<br>
spent so much time discussing.<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee#Membership" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>Conference_Committee#<wbr>Membership</a><br>
<br>
<br>
I point this out not to be critical, but to encourage the proper<br>
process and increase the likelihood of consideration and participation<br>
on motions. Look how obvious the motions are here,<br>
<a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2017-November/thread.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/<wbr>pipermail/gdal-dev/2017-<wbr>November/thread.html</a><br>
in the list archives but also people's inboxes. Keeping motions to<br>
one topic in clearly designated separate threads, after there has been<br>
any needed discussion makes the process flow more easily.<br>
<br>
