Title: Board Member Elections Begin

News Date:
5 Sep 2016
Details:

The nominations for the OSGeo Board of Directors start on 5 September, 
2016. Please take a minute to understand what the board actually does. A 
director should plan to spend several hours a week on OSGeo business in 
order to do a good job. The current board members will know best. Maybe 
you could please also look over this page and add things that are on 
your agenda but are not well reflected on this Wiki page.

To nominate a candidate for the board please first confirm with the
person that they would like to stand for election as a Board member.
Then send an email to cro at osgeo.org CCing the candidate by 12:00 GMT
on Sunday 18.09.2016 consisting of:

     name and e-mail
     current country of residence
     a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good
     Board member.

Remember that only Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the
Board and for voting but that anybody can nominate a board member.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Jorge Sanz
CRO 2016
