Yes I agree, it is a slippery slope that once we/OSGeo decide that size<br>
is an important part of our organization (as you know, many other<br>
organizations separate their membership by size), it opens up so many<br>
other challenges. For that reason, I spoke up here to suggest that we<br>
avoid all that, by suggesting 4 options to cover that.<br>
<br>
Indeed my proposal does include all organizations, purposely. OSGeo is<br>
built on that, and has done an amazing job in creating a thriving<br>
community.<br>
<br>
Thanks for listening Jachym,<br>
