Hey Cameron,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">my suggestions would be:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) make it really clear what your deadline is for
responses (maybe also use e-mail priority or something very
visible in the subject in case of urgency)</div>
<div class="">2) make it clear if you need the board to vote on
something (you can ask one of us to raise a motion) or you just
need an opinion / opinions</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In the case of opinions, I normally don’t respond to
something a previous board member has said if I’m in general
consent. If I disagree or have other points, I’ll chime in, but
otherwise I’ll be silent.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
<div class="">Bart</div>

OSGeo Board,<br class="">
I'm finding it difficult to engage effectively with the
OSGeo Board in a timely manner and am looking for
suggestions on how to improve that.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is the OSGeo-Board email list still the best forum to
discuss ideas?<br class="">
Would it be easier if I wrote more concisely, and less
often? (Try to increase signal-to-noise ratio)?<br
class="">
Maybe limit to specific proposals: "I propose the OSGeo
board support ..."?<br class="">
Maybe not ask as much of the OSGeo Board?<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm asking following on from discussion about the Open
LIDAR Letter, which had significant discussion, across a
number of email lists, as well as private discussions.
I'm hoping we can learn and improve.<br class="">
<br class="">
Next, I'm hoping we can finalise an OSGeo Code of
Conduct / Diversity Statement, and am interested to know
whether board members want to be involved in this? I'm
hoping that there is still sufficient energy to take
this through to completion.<br class="">

<div class="">Hi Jeff, as per below, I note that you
prefer to discuss emails in public. I'm cool with
that.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In this case, I emailed yourself, CC
public board list. I followed up with a private

forgotten the email, or lost it in an email folder
somewhere. (I note you are usually more
responsive).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Thanks for responding with your
thoughts. It helps to understand where you are
coming from rather than guessing to know if you
have received the email or not.</div>

Thanks for adding the cover letter to the
LiDAR Open Letter. <br class="">
<br class="">
The second part of this motion was for the
OSGeo President to email the <br class="">
letter to the OGC, ESRI and ASPRS.
(Suggested email addresses are toward <br

the bottom of this email thread). <br

<br class="">
Would you mind CCing a public archived email
list (probably the board <br class="">
list) so that we have an official record of
the Open Letter being <br class="">
delivered. (Alternatively, you can forward,
or notify the list instead). <br class="">
<br class="">
Hopefully any response you receive will also
be sent to the public list. <br class="">
If not, can you please ask if you can share
the response publicly. <br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers, <br class="">
