[Board] [OSGeo-Discuss] Kicking off Elections 2015 process

[Peter Baumann]

Hi Vasile & all,

having tried to fill in the questionnaire I see one main issue: It seems like
"OSGeo Charter membership" =" OSGeo membership".
Not sure it is intended, as my feeling (which may be wrong) is that a Charter
member is more like an advisory board member whereas general membership is where
all the enthusiasts come together. Both make sense, but IMHO should be
differentiated in the questions.

my 2 cents, acting as Guinean Pig ;-)
