We look through board meetings from prior years and can find meetings where
the executive was established.

I don't think it should, since the election does not appoint executive
positions.

If you like you could divide the meeting history up by executive changes,
... but keep in mind it is not smoothly divided up by year. We can (and
have) swapped executive positions around during the course of director
mandate (for example introducing vice-presidents).

No motion required, keeping this page in order to reflect the state of our
operation is a consistent chore. Please send an email as you work on it,
you can seen emails from November when I was refactoring the page for the
2018 budget. Each time you clean up please send an email board at osgeo.org.

And I have one more question for you:

* Where is the history of the annual general meetings?

Yes please!
- Ask board members to set up a profile on the website
- edit the page


I would like to ask for a website enhancement so we can have a URL for:
- the list of board members: https://www.osgeo.org/community/members?type=
board
- the list of voting members: https://www.osgeo.org/community/members/?type=
charter
- the list of GeoForAll participants: https://www.
osgeo.org/community/members/?type=geoForAll
- see discussion on https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2084 about charter
members

Thanks Astrid it is great working with you.
