Our CRO says that the elections were regular. On the basis of what I have seen, I support the findings of the CRO.<br>
<br>
Surprising or unusual behaviour by individuals does not negate the election. Members have exercised their votes. The results have been returned. The new board is in place. I accept the legitimacy of this democratic process, even though only two of the candidates I supported were successful.<span class=""><br>

The reason why committee decisions can be made with a majority vote is to allow the committee to continue to function even in the presence of minority views or distractions. I trust the board to filter out the noise and make decisions that best further the goals of OSGeo.<span class=""><br>

I like public meetings and open discussion. Transparency is healthy. Let everyone have their say, in whatever forum, with calm and civility, and be accountable for their actions.<br>
