Board,
the next regular board meeting is on Thursday (1st of July) this week. I
have added an agenda [1], please feel free to add items. Also observe
the timing, we start at 17:00 UTC.

One potential motion needs up front work to be done. The OGC plans to
publish a White Paper on Open Standards and Open Source. They asked me
whether I could help with the Open Source perspective which I did. Over
the last weeks we jointly prepared the paper and I feel confident that
it is good to go now. The result of this work can be found in the
attached document. In preparation for this meeting I ask you to read and
comment or edit the attached document. It is not intended for broader
dissemination just yet which is why I did not send this mail to Discuss
or Standards.

Please go through this paper and consider in what role you would like to
have OSGeo appear / associate with it. OGC would be happy to publish
this document as a joint White Paper which would give it most authority
with the intended audiences. OSGeo could also just be mentioned as a
reviewer or collaborator or any other form you consider useful.

It would be great to have discussions *before* the actual board meeting
on this list so that we can proceed to have a motion on the floor to
vote on.

Please let this list know if you *cannot* make it to the next meeting as
we will need quorum to go ahead. Summer time and associated leaves are
already looming ahead...

Thanks,
Arnulf.
