I have reduced the document to 12 pages by pushing the appendix of past reports to a page on the wiki and by cross referencing as much stuff as possible to the wiki (which also ensures that it is more likely to remain current)</div><div><br></div><div>2) The document is designed to be as generic as possible. It should need little change for 2019 etc unless we change major policy or processes.</div><div><br></div><div>3) The document is structured with all key information and dates in 2 tables at the beginning which are cross referenced throughout the doc</div><div><br></div><div>4) References to delegate prices and concessions have been left sufficiently open to allow/encourage bidders to suggest innovative models</div><div><br></div><div>5) There is specific reference to the availability of seed finance and the expectations of return to OSGeo if we provide funding.</div><div><br></div><div>6) In the past we had a complex voting system which required committee members to rank all proposals. We did not actually use that voting system and each member voted for one proposal. I have proposed a 1st and 2nd choice system (2nd choices are only used if there is a tie at the 1st vote stage)</div><div><br></div><div>Please comment on the RfP by 18.00 GMT on Wednesday 21st, I need to integrate any changes before publishing the RfP on 23rd.</div><div><br></div><div>Board members if you have any comments could you please post into this thread on Conference list rather than the board list.</div><div><br></div><div>Potential FOSS4G bidders should be aware that this draft is subject to community comment and possible revision</div><div><br></div><div>May the FOSS be with you<br><div>
