<p>Hi Jürgen,</p>
<p>I would say no - leaving PSC members don't get automatically voting member status. They can be nominated, when either a voting member resigns, or when a new QGIS user group is added. Tim and I suggest that we only add new voting members once a year - to reduce the bureaucracy.</p>
<p>In general I would say that double mandates should be avoided. The voting members should control the work of the PSC. I think there are a few double mandates, such as Paolo and me - who are both a voting member (user group representative) and also PSC/board members. It can be discussed if this should be avoided. If yes, it should be clarified in the statutes.</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<br /> Do leaving PSC members also get a voting member status? I think no PSC member<br /> was nominated as community voting member at the time.<br /><br /><br /> Jürgen</div>
