[Board] Motion on Open lidar letter

[Cameron Shorter]

I think all board members have now voted? Thankyou for your support.
Massimo, as you raised this motion, do you wish to declare its result?

Next actions:
* Declare result of motion (Massimo)
* Update the Open Letter wiki with cover letter. There is proposed text 
below. I'm happy to do this, unless someone else does it first.
* Send the Open Letter to key stakeholders (emails below). Jeff, do you 
wish to do that? Would you like any help?

Regards,
Cameron
