<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Well, I have been following this election's discussion and refrained from adding to the noise. I hoped as a group of *volunteers* everything would be settled with some pragmatism. Didn't happen.</div><div><br></div><div>Jeff please do not walk away. There are many elected/appointed watchers/officials of the rules (board, cro). They publicly stated their points of view that rules were respected. If they did not publicly ask you to redraw then don't. Let them do their work. Trust them. Not asked to, then don't do it.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If there was a request from an OSGeo's official
to stand down I would think it would be made public.<br></div><div><br></div>I really hope a quasi-technicality will not exclude one of our finest members from an election. As a voter I feel I am being cheated and forced to not vote for someone. And for what?</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, congrats to CRO's for the work and excellent communication skills.<br></div><div><br></div>Best regards,</div><div>Duarte Carreira<br></div><div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><br></div>
