Consensus was that the role should be created as outlined [1], with
a change of title from "OSGeo Ambassador" to "OSGeo Advocate", as
"Ambassador" implies that the OSGeo board has assigned the role to
someone after a selection process (which is not the case for this
volunteer role).<br>
<br>
Voting will remain open for the next 48 hours if people who couldn't
make the meeting wish to vote.<br>
<br>
+1 Cameron Shorter to accept the "OSGeo Advocate" role.<br>

The current proposal is here:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Ambassador" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Ambassador</a><br>
<br>
This topic has been discussed by many of you on discuss, marketing
and board email lists. Here is a summary of comments, along with
my suggestions:<br>
<br>
1. There has emerged to be two roles which people have been
categorising under the title of "OSGeo Ambassador"<br>
a. Someone knowledgeable in OSGeo, who can speak at conferences
and the like. This is what we are focusing on for this definition
of the role.<br>
b. Someone who can negotiate MOU and similar on behalf of the
OSGeo board. This is proposed to be treated separately, with the
OSGeo Board delegated to someone they see fit to do the job, on a
case-by-case basis.<br>
<br>
2. There has been concern (from FrankW?) about defining a role
which is exclusive and prevents people from just stepping up an
volunteering. This is addressed by letting anyone who believes
they have OSGeo experience and thinks them self worthy can step
forward and volunteer.<br>
<br>
3. There has been concern (from Arnulf?) that our categorisation
is too complicated. (We are proposing Board Members, Charter
Members, Voted Positions, Community Members). I believe that we do
need some way to define OSGeo experience, because that is one of
the key criteria that conference organisors look for when
selecting speakers and key notes. We can potentially de-emphasise
the categorisation by moving it into the "Description" field
rather than making a heading out of it.<br>
