[Board] FOSS4G 2014 RFP Vote

[Michael P. Gerlek]

Do we as the board need to make a motion saying we will resolve this via voting, or can we just proceed?

* Let us please keep the NA event location and issue separate from this vote.

* I think 1-2 days to review the proposals, then a short by-email voting window.

* Normally I'd say we should have a discussion period, with a chance to debate the pros and cons of each city, but I'm not sure that is appropriate - I know I'd really like a chance to lobby for my city choice, but I'm a little uncomfortable with that although I'm not really sure why. Maybe because I see this as a tie-breaking exercise, not a chance to reopen the whole selection process?

* Given that, then, votes should go to Paul as a CRO, instead of the mailing list, to avoid early board voters influencing later voters. (The votes should not be secret, though- Paul should announce who voted for what after vote period closes.)

* In the event of a board tie vote, I suggest Jeff, as president, decides the winner.
