<br>
</span>I'm not on the Board list and think that it would be more effective<br>
coming as feedback from the Marketing Committee (and should largely be<br>
up to the Marketing Committee).<br>
<span class=""><br>

<br>
</span>Sorry to bring up a tangential item on the thread. Getting back to<br>
<span class="">what you wrote:<br>
<br>
I have drafted a call for sponsorship<br>
</span>(<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/11rRUw75YgUNjP_9w2ElsGuGr9T8v4kD5Gfh9-wxFzhE/edit" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/<wbr>document/d/11rRUw75YgUNjP_<wbr>9w2ElsGuGr9T8v4kD5Gfh9-wxFzhE/<wbr>edit</a>)<br>
<span class="">that includes "Digital asset rebranding and website reboot" as an<br>
initiative for sponsorship. My description could use your feedback:<br>
><br>
> Digital asset rebranding and website reboot: The marketing committee has volunteered to undertake an EOI process to revamp the OSGeo visual and online presence in 2017. This is significant user-focused undertaking that would greatly benefit from your support!<br>
<br>
I would love to have a wiki page, or a draft EOI, to link to (similar<br>
to how I can link to the foss4g europe, foss4g boston and code sprint<br>
websites).<br>
<br>
The board meeting is tomorrow, I expect the above document to be sent<br>
out at that time.<br>
<br>
</span>"This is ****a**** significant user-focused undertaking that would<br>
greatly benefit from your support!" You forgot an "a" (or remove "is"<br>
and rework).<br>
<br>
"This is a significant user-focused undertaking that would greatly<br>
benefit from your support!" Might sounds a little passive although it<br>
does keep the rebranding as the subject. You could try different<br>
orders like:<br>
<br>
"Your (valuable) support assists (enables? allows?) significant<br>
user-focused undertakings such as the digital asset rebranding and<br>
website reboot"<br>
<br>
You've got the important components covered so what you've got or<br>
similar should be good.<br>
<br>
Best regards, Eli<br>
