I have worked through the comments and suggested changes to the

<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Blind submission of proposals. This doesn’t need
to be in the RfP doc - we can decide to implement the
process later and notify when we start stage 2</li>
<li class="">We need to agree the length and positioning of
the AGM relative to other activity. I think a mandatory 2
hour AGM with no other activities running in parallel is too
long. Either keep to 1 hour and run straight after the
plenary session on day 2 or run for 2 hours but allow other
activities in parallel. <br class="">
Personally I find the long series of slides and speakers on
every chapter and project tedious, the AGM needs to be more
focussed and punchy and reaching out to both existing and
potential members. <br class="">
The Annual Report should be published as a slide deck or
document for everyone to read regardless of whether they are
at FOSS4G</li>
<li class="">Are we going to run a member meeting as well as
an AGM? If so is it a parallel session or a plenary type
activity.</li>
<li class="">I have tried to improve the Diversity and
Inclusion section, are you happy with that?</li>
<li class="">The section on video (and streaming) needs
approval. It currently reads “<span

I would be happy to work on setting up a location
where the files can be placed. If possible, I would
make it so that when the file is posted an email goes
out to the conference list and the conference
committee would have access to the files.<br class="">

Thanks for this all. I've added a section regarding
commitment to diversity and inclusion, with the
addition of whether LGBTQ+/other groups are legally
discriminated against with the country- this is
considering the experience of the Dar team and
efforts that we went to.<br class="">

FYI - I added some edits and comments.<br class="">
<br class="">
Most importantly to me and perhaps should be
discussed here is that I think that we should make
the collection of the full proposals private until
we are ready to release them all on the wiki. This
would make it possible for people who turned their
proposals early to feel secure that their
competitors are not using the information from
their publicly shared proposal in the competitive
bid.<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have an objection to this?<br class="">

Dear CC!<br class="">
<br class="">
We have a draft of the RfP document for the 2020
call now:<br class="">
<br class="">
The draft RfP is<br class="">
at <a

<br class="">
Due to Steven, this is an open document, anyone
with the link can view<br class="">
and comment.<br class="">
<br class="">
I know we are little late, but the document is
based on the RfP of the<br class="">
past years. Feel free to comment on this
document until *this* friday<br class="">
(14.09.2018) 12h CET, after that I will kick out
the call for 2020 and<br class="">
we have to finalize the document and resolute
all comments.<br class="">
<br class="">
Special thanks to Steven and Michael, who did
the main work and<br class="">
improvements on this document!<br class="">
