<div>Thanks for your comment. I have a different opinion. </div>
<div>People with more than 40 years can apply. </div>
<div>Moeover the scores will be compensated by their experience, as there are also scores for this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ol style="box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; color:rgb(0,58,64); font-family:Sintony,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16.66px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<li style="box-sizing:border-box">Proposer’s documented experience in education and training: 20 (max)</li></ol>
<div>And I believe that, for a person with experience, it is easier to write a better proposal (40 scores).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my opinion, on the opposite, our choice goes into the direction of being inclusive with young people. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyhow there is a Code of Conduct Committee. If they decided that the criteria as a whole are against inclusion, we would change as they propose.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards</div>

<p>I've just taken a look at this and noticed this line as one of the evaluation criteria:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>> Proposer’s age (20 if <= 40 years old; 0 if >40 years old): 20 (max)</p>
<p>When did explicit age discrimination (i.e. ageism) become acceptable?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It seems to run counter to the OSGeo Goal of:<br>
"be a welcoming and inclusive worldwide organization at all levels;"</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Not to mention the Code of Conduct:</p>
<p>"OSGeo welcomes and encourages participation by everyone" - as long as you're young?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
