    <p>PSC,</p>

      we institute a Advisory Board with part of the sponsors. We need
      to put that into reality soon.<br>
    </p>
    <p>After discussing with Chris, here are the following suggestions:</p>
    <p>- consider May 31st as the deadline for the set of sponsors we
      consider in the designation process of the representative of the
      Gold (at least, 1 representative for every 3 Gold sponsors. Chris
      suggested we could ask each if they'd like to be) and Silver (1
      representative for the whole set of Silver sponsors) sponsors for
      the year to come.<br>
    </p>
    <p>- ask OSGeo SAC for the creation of a gdal-advisory-board mailing
      list. Only approved subscribers will be allowed to post
      (representative of sponsors + PSC members willing to be part of it
      + people benefiting from funding), but it will be publicly
      archived.</p>
    <p>Any objection ?</p>
    <p>Even<br>
