I didn't find that thread while scanning through the archive. Thanks<br>
for pointing it out to me.<br>

Was the <a href="mailto:cro@osgeo.org">cro@osgeo.org</a> email alias updated? I didn't notice a ticket<br>
for that. I'm impressed that there is so little concern about the<br>
proper process. The Board did not appear to review this topic at<br>
their last meeting,<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2017-10-05" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>Board_Meeting_2017-10-05</a>, so perhaps it is<br>
of no concern to the Board.<br>
<br>
Best regards, Eli<br>
