[Foss4g2009] Re: [Foss4g2009-private] Treasurer

[Cameron Shorter]

I hearby nominate Dave Pattern to be the treasurer of FOSS4G2009.

Janelle,
 From memory, I think Tour Hosts plans to take out insurance for FOSS4G 
position holders (against being sued for making poor decisions). Could 
you please confirm this.
