I generally tend towards being inclusive rather than exclusive. There is always the possibility that ACMEcorp will get all of their staff to register on transifex, dominate the nomination process, elect a board of their own choosing and then turn <a href="http://qgis.org" class="">QGIS.org</a> into their own thing but personally I don’t see this as a great risk - at the very worst the community currently involved with QGSI would take their toys and go and start a new playpen. For now maybe it is simplest to stick with the criteria we have defined.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Probably more concerning is that <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/qgis.org/forms/d/1-6gzxq0-RtJh56QGlqI6dVEhgM5i7am5NRHsmDtiKV8/edit?usp=drive_web#responses" class="">https://docs.google.com/a/qgis.org/forms/d/1-6gzxq0-RtJh56QGlqI6dVEhgM5i7am5NRHsmDtiKV8/edit?usp=drive_web#responses</a> (probably only accessible to PSC members) only shows one nomination so far, so either our process is too unclear, our criteria are not broad enough or there is a generally apathy towards the process that we are trying to set into place…</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tim</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><br class=""><br class="">Jürgen<br class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">Jürgen E.
