                <div>Hi Everyone,<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                I am part of a team assembling a bid for FOSS4G 2014.
                The bid plans to host it in Washington D.C. in September
                2014. Dave McIlhagga, myself are both part of the
                conference committee along with an impressive and very
                experienced team.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              We were hoping the OSGeo Ottawa chapter could formally
              support to the bid?<br>
              <br>
              The practicalities of supporting the bid might manifest in
              a variety of ways such as helping spread the word in
              Ottawa & general about the various milestones like the
              web site going on-line, call for papers, call for
              workshops, early bird registration, etc.<br>
            </div>
          </div>
          <br>
        </div>
        As far as protocol to decide, perhaps if someone other than Dave
        and I would please +1, we'll consider the first +1 the motion,
        the next as the second, and subsequent tallied in the vote. If
        anyone feels strongly against it, please -1 and suggest why.<br>
        <div>
          <div>
            <div><br>
              For what it is worth, the OSGeo Quebec chapter's steering
              committee voted unanimously to support the bid.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            <div>Thank you in advance for considering!<br>
            </div>
