<br>
Although we haven't (yet) shared FOSS4G travels together I have to say that I truly admire your passion and efforts, and we share a lot of the same traits (do-ing, asking questions, diving in, etc.) I strongly second Maxi's words. You are a leader and a big part of the OSGeo community. Much of what you have been saying or asking I've been literally taking notes of how we can improve. In fact I see you taking on more of a role and not less. I am just speaking from the heart and being open.<br>
<br>
I know how the written word can be so hurtful these days (and I don't want / but yet know that unfortunately my own words here can be misinterpreted as taking one side versus another), but I hope this public support shown here can give you renewed hope and energy for the OSGeo community.<br>
<br>
I encourage you to keep being you.<br>

Hello community,<br>
<br>
Can someone point me at the relevant documentation re: retiring current membership status? Specifically, related to Charter membership.<br>
<br>
I understand the processes to nominate & add new charter members but not clear on how current charter members can retire.<br>
<br></span>
To put it another way: how to edit <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/charter-members/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/about/ch<wbr>arter-members/</a> <<a href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/charter-members/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/about/c<wbr>harter-members/</a>>?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
