<p>Hi Dennis,</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing that link - that is a really useful
distinction. </p>
<p>We will have to work out the practicalities of this (i.e. how to
get a total count of UK based members) but I am sure this is
doable. </p>
<p>Everyone - please do share your thoughts. </p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.</p>

Thank you for your comments Dennis and your nomination for the
committee <br>
(and Tom for your seconding).<br>
<br>
Just for clarification - are you proposing that to be a member
of <br>
OSGeo:UK, a person should be a Charter Member of OSGeo? (A
Charter <br>
Member is a specific role - there was an email on one of the
other OSGeo <br>
lists recently, I will circulate it to the UK list shortly).
Or another <br>
type of member of OSGeo?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the suggestion :-)<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>
