I was not sure if that was simply because</div><div>they were on the OSGeo board (or if they were acting as incubation</div><div>chair). Please advise :-P</div></div></blockquote></div></div></span>I'd say it would be the responsibility of the IncCom chair to take those<span><div><div><div>decisions to the board for approval after the committee has made the </div><div>decision. If I'm not mistaken the chair of a committee is also the </div><div>liaison to the board for that committee (someone please correct me if </div><div>I'm wrong).</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>If so I have not been briefed on how to contact the board. Each I email a board member I regret it as my email gets shared with the board list; and I get email list violations every time I reply to the thread.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me simply ask; is there a member of the board on this email list we can ask?</div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">You raise an interesting point that in the past, by coincidence, IncCom<span><div><div><div>chairs have always also been board members... does this mean that you </div><div>are going to have to join the board next year? ;-)</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>Not in this timezone :-) Unless the board wants to pull the GeoTools trick of having the IRC meeting twice in one day (with a common set of minuets).</div><blockquote type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">More seriously, if that would make your job easier then I'm happy to<span><div><div><div>take care of bringing up those decisions to the board for approval. Just </div><div>let me know.</div></div></div></span></blockquote><div>I will add it to the agenda; if the board wants me to crash their meeting to report in from the incubation committee they just need to let me know.</div><div><br></div><div>Jody </div>
