Daniel,
last year I signed the contract with the PCO with a liability of €300k.
I did this in my role as director/president of OSGeo - but when it comes
to money, liability tends to stick to the person not the role.

There is no implied or written rule but at one point things just needed
to get done which is usually when I step up to do stupid things, Q.E.D.

Arnulf.
