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>
