<p>Unless it was lot in transit, we haven't received a vote from:</p>
<p>David Fawcett<br>
</p>
<p>All bar one of the voters voted as requested with a combination
of +1, -1 for each city as requested.</p>
<p>One voter only voted +1 for their preferred city. We counted 0
for the other cities for their vote.</p>
<p>The sum of +1,0,-1 votes for each city for stage 1 is:</p>
<p>Halifax: 17<br>
</p>
<p>Calgary: 14<br>
</p>
<p>Niagara Falls: 0</p>
<p>This means that Halifax and Calgary both qualify to continue to
stage 2 of the RFQ.</p>
<p>I understand that Arnulf is in a poor internet connection area at
the moment and I haven't been able to discuss and confirm these
results with him. Hopefully he will be able to reply to confirm
the result when he is back online.</p>
<p>Thanks to all who participated. Congratulations and best of luck
for the next stage for Halifax and Calgary.</p>
<p>Niagara Falls participants, maybe you will want to find a way to
become involved with the other cities.</p>
Warm regards, Cameron (acting as CRO)<br>

<p>Dear Voting Members of OSGeo's Conference Committee,</p>
<p>I know, it's still some time left today, but as I am on my
way back from Barcelona home tomorow, I herewith send out
the call on voting on the three phantastic LoI's for hosting
FOSS4G 2020, that we received. Due to our timetable in [1]
the voting period on the LoI's lasts from 13th to 18th of
October (last possible time).</p>
<p>So please send your votes to:</p>
<p>Arnulf Christl</p>
<p>and<br>
</p>
<p>Cameron Shorter</p>
<p>The voting mechanism for stage 1 is as follows: Please vote
on <b>every single</b> LoI with one thumb up / thumb down
each and send your *three* votes to the two guys mentioned
above - no of the mails to me, neither CC, nor BCC. <br>
</p>
<p>Your Email can look as follows:</p>
<p>Halifax +1</p>
<p>Calgary +1</p>
<p>Niagara Falls +1</p>
<p>(Of course only in case, that you vote *thumbs up* for all
tree ;-). BTW: A vote against can be a "-1" and this is not
comparable with the "-1" we know from OSgeo discussions,
because here it does not require any reason and/or
alternative, it just means "thumb down".... )<br>
</p>
<p>Please find all relevant information on the WIKI [1]. The
teams that receive more +1's than -1's LoI's will pass stage
1. </p>
<p>I hope, that ALL of us will send their voting emails to
Arnulf and Cameron before the last possibe time on 18th of
October 2018 passed - as said, we need a strong quorum,
especially when there are three teams from one country
bidding for the same conference.</p>
<p>Regards, Till<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Voting members of OSGeo's conference committee!
This is just a reminder to be prepared to vote on the LoI's on the RfP 2020.
Please take your time to review the LoI's [1], aks qwuestions on the
conference committee list until 12th of October and then please vote
until 18th of October. I just asked two potential CRO's to assist us for
the voting process, I will send their email-adresses in a seperate email
once they agreed.
Please remember that choosing the location of future FOSS4G's is your
only duty in the conference committee and remember that it is important
to have the opinion of as many of you as possible so that we can choose
the best location for FOSS4G 2020.
If you now already know, that you will not be able to rate & vote,
please drop me a note ASAP. After the RfP I will ask the members, that
did not vote, whether they want to remain as voting members or not.
Regards, Till
