<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi everyone<br><br></div>I meant to respond a lot earlier to John - this discussion is reflected in current comments on that section of the draft ToR. <br><br></div>I don't see a reason why the draft ToR can't also be open for comment by the community. Boardfolks, can we do that? (open the draft for comment?)<br><br></div><div>And +1 to everyone - there is a strong precedent for open board comms in the OSGeo community. If the community get sick of board noise in this list, it is easy enough to set up:<br><br></div><div>- public discussion of anything by anyone (this list)<br></div><div>- publicly available, publicly archived, board matters list (does not exist yet, we could flick the rlevant switches on oceania-board and make it so)<br></div><div>- an in-camera list for the board, with very limited scope of discussion (this is how the current oceania-board list works, we could ask for a new 'oceania-board-private' list)<br></div><div><br></div><div>yes its a bit more work for board members that way to manage what goes where, but thats what we sign up for right? By nominating ourselves as drivers of the community we say 'we have time for all this'<br></div><div><br></div>Thanks<br><br></div>Adam<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 4 Sep 2020 at 05:26, Graeme Fitzpatrick <<a href="mailto:graemefitz1@gmail.com">graemefitz1@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 4 Sep 2020 at 12:59, Bruce Bannerman <<a href="mailto:bruce.bannerman.osgeo@gmail.com" target="_blank">bruce.bannerman.osgeo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><br></div><div>We have the example from our parent organisation, OSGeo, where the board list is public.
