[Board] Board meeting 2014-07-17: Motions

[Fenoy Gerald]

Hey Cameron,
don’t you think we were wrong to not nominate them before then ?

I don’t see any controversy in having BM prior to CM, even more I just think it is obviously making sense to many of us all around.

Let’s spread the word and see…

With my sincere deviation to OSGeo (which I hope I shared by some amongst us),
Best regards brothers,

Yes, it could happen, that some fresh charter member could not be good choice, but look, how many charter members are inactive for years. I think again: community worked till now, why do you not trust it any further and why are you thinking of new rules?
