[Board] Invitation to OSGeo to participate in LocationTech

[Andrew Ross]

Thank you Frank.

That's right regarding formal representation for OSGeo at LocationTech.

And confirmed re: OSGeo wouldn't be a Steering Committee member for $0.

For what it's worth, OSGeo could be a Steering Committee member for 
$15K/year at any point.

Andrew
