[Board] 2016 Board Election announcement

Dear Venka, all

Apart from announcing the nominations, regarding my CRO duties I've:

- Removed Vasile from the CRO alias so now any mail to "cro at osgeo.org"
will reach myself and Jeff McKenna as a backup.
- I've changed the password for the LimeSurvey instance so now I'm the
only one that has access to the survey system.

For the sake of transparency, just let you know that this LimeSurvey
instance is at a geo-spatial.org server from the Romanian LC but I
hope this is not a problem for the Board. If it is, we should contact
the SAC urgently to deploy another instance. In my opinion it's not
needed at all.

Please if you see any issue on this or any other elections matter I
count with your help and collaboration :-)

All the best
Jorge
