[Board] Motion: Proposed process for selecting OSGeo charter members

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo Board,

Could you all please vote on the following.
Following feedback from the OSGeo discuss and board email lists, I'm now 
submitting the following proposed updates to the process for selection 
of new OSGeo Charter members.

+1 Cameron

/1a. Charter member to nominate potential new charter member(s) (as 
before).//
//
//1b. A person who meets the "Positive Attributes for Charter Members" 
[1]//, may ask a charter member who can vouch for the person to nominate 
them.

//2. Charter members then vote (in/out///*abstain*//) nominated charter 
members. This will be different to prior years, as we previously voted 
in a fixed number of members for a larger selection pool. (eg vote in 20 
people from a list of 30). For this year, I propose we have a 
"Yes/No/*Abstain*" vote. Ie, if we have a list of 30 candidates, we will 
ask all charter members to vote Yes or No or Abstain against each 
candidate. Each candidate with //*more YES votes than NO votes, as well 
as greater than 5% of charter members who voted*//will be included as 
new charter members.//
//
//3. Charter members would be guided to select candidates who fit the 
"Positive Attributes for Charter Members" [1] //
//
//4. There will be no limit to the number of new charter members who can 
be selected. This will require an update of
