I think this document reflects our style and our needs at this point in time. Having spent decades within communities, I've seen communities grow in both positive and negative ways. The original guidelines sometimes hinder the future state of affairs. I think we should be mindful of that, and be ready to adapt and change as we mature.

Thanks for pushing this forward,

Cameron

Hi all, thanks for all the input and collaboration over the last couple of weeks on how we govern ourselves going forward, and the future of this organisation. I think we've ended up with something that clearly spells out a functional structure and an implementation plan without being overly prescriptive, addresses key concerns around efficiency, and leaves plenty of room for us to evolve, including the prospect of creating a formal entity.

In order to kick off the process, I propose the following motion:

MOTION: We finalise and ratify the attached document as a guide for the formation of OSGeo Oceania, and as a Terms of Reference for a new committee.

Once this is complete, I believe we're in a position to move to the next step, which would be forming a new committee responsible for directing and managing OSGeo Oceania.

Cheers
John
