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

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for all the cases of bit-beer. I'm getting very virtually merry. :)

Votes so far, waiting on Jachym:
Anne Ghisla +1
Jeff McKenna +1
Daniel Morissette +1
Cameron Shorter +1
Frank Warmerdam +1
Jáchym Čepický
Jorge Sanz +1
Bart van den Eijnden +1
Gérald Fenoy +1

I've updated the Membership voting process and would appreciate a few
people to review for readability and to ensure I've copied resolutions from
email thread accurately:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process_2014

Once reviewed, this doc should be moved to:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process
This wiki page is currently locked. Anyone know how to unlock and edit it?
