[OSGeo Oceania] Fwd: [Oceania-Board] [Oceania-Board-Private] OO Code of Conduct V2.0 draft

[Alex Leith]

Thanks John

And you're right, it's been really hard to balance commitments in this
crazy year.

I'm personally of the view that having a Code of Conduct that is good is
what we need right now, and pushing for perfection will just lead to
further delays. I'm very happy to receive dissenting views on this, and if
folks would like us to wait until after the elections in December for the
new Board to take on the finalisation of this document, which has been in
draft form for a long time, then that's ok with me.

I'm trying hard to be transparent. We have the open board list at
oceania-board, and I'm drafting the annual report in a public document. Any
apparent lack of transparency is merely through negligence and not any evil
intent!

Kind regards,

Alex
