Subject: [OSGeo Oceania] 2020 board directors: 1 & 2 year terms<br>
Message-ID:<br>

<br>
Hi OSGeo Oceania board,<br>
<br>
Our Constitution says:<br>
<br>
*In order to implement staggered terms [...] half of the newly-elected<br>
> Directors will be appointed to a half term of one year. These Directors<br>
> will volunteer or be chosen by random selection.*<br>
><br>
<br>
The purpose of this is to make sure that in future, annual board elections<br>
will only be for half the positions, to make sure there's continuity across<br>
years.<br>
<br>
By way of a process, I propose this:<br>
<br>
1. Directors volunteer for 1 year terms (with 2 years being the default).<br>
2. If needed to re-balance, we draw straws<br>
<<a href="https://www.dsrw.org/~dlg/web/straws.php" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dsrw.org/~dlg/web/straws.php</a>> to ensure we have half for<br>
each of 1 & 2 year terms. Since we have 9 directors this will be 4/5 or<br>
5/4. We can draw straws at our board meeting this coming Thursday.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
<br>
- 2 directors volunteer for a 1 year term: draw 2 straws from the<br>
remaining 7 directors, and the short straws take a 1 year term -> 5 @ 2<br>
years, 4 @ 1 year<br>
- 6 directors volunteer for a 1 year term: draw 1 straw from those 6<br>
directors, and the short straw takes a 2 year term -> 4 @ 2 years, 5 @ 1<br>
year<br>
<br>
Sound fair?<br>
<br>
I'm happy to volunteer for a 1 year term.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
John<br>
