<div>Summary:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’re seeking $AU3000 from OSgeo to help fund 5(ish) attendees; and cover visa costs for up to 5 attendees from pacific island nations (an obstacle identified by people living in the relevant regions).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’d like to get this on the OSgeo board agenda as soon as possible - so we can announce the program, work on a timetable, work on a selection process and work on a more diverse selection committee.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some details are still quite loose. A bit like Africa, it’s cheap to fund an attendee from near the conference, but really expensive to cover someone from across the same continent - flexibility in how funds are assigned is critical, as is transparency
around the process. And we don’t know where our applicants will come from yet!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, we’d love any feedback that comes. It’s our first shot, we’re likely to get a lot wrong. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards<br>
