<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Maybe something like "maintain the
organization's representation of the diverse interests in the
community"?<br>
<br>
It's a bit clunky but I think it works.<br>

keeps the meaning of what was originally intended, I would add
diversity to integrity. In an extreme example, if you consider
the risk of green aliens taking over osgeo, those aliens may
have integrity and still if they are too many, they would
naturally start to represent the interest of their planet.
Diversity is IMHO what would keep the balance.</div>

<div>Coming back to this discussion; thank you all who

<div>With the words of wisdom from Frank, Jody, and others
-- is it fair to say that Charter Members have the
responsibility of voting, as well as "preserving the
integrity of the OSGeo Foundation"? That seems a less,
well, hostile, way to express the main idea that seems
to have come out of this discussion.</div>

<div>Hi discuss,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the notification emails from CRO to new
charter member nominees, the following is
included (emphasis mine):</div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>"(Charter Members) have the following
responsibilities: (1) annually vote for
OSGeo Board Members; (2) annually vote for
new OSGeo Charter Members and (3) <b>be
aware of and protect against a hostile
takeover of OSGeo.</b>"</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have had more than one nominee of mine
contact me asking what exactly this means. I
agree with their concerns: this is strange
language to use, is not reflected in our
bylaws, and frankly does not fit the image I
presented when I first contacted them asking
if they would accept a nomination.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It may be a language barrier or simply a
misunderstanding, but can we clarify what is
meant by using this kind of verbiage, and
consider a re-wording? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Sara</div>
