[Board] Important MOTIONS (combined)

[Cameron Shorter]

I have updated the wiki, with previous text in strikeout font, such we 
can see what others have voted for.


      Abstension

  * <strike>Mark Lucas, as a Board member and also a member of the DC
    local committee, will not be allowed to vote</strike>
  * Mark Lucas, while noting he has no financial conflict of interest as
    described by OSGeo bylaws, has volunteered to abstain in order to
    address concerns raised by others.
