[OSGeo-Conf] 2009 RFP draft review

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,
In the meeting yesterday the voting method was brought up and discussed. 
This is good and I'm fine with what was decided. I would add a note in 
the draft document to say if the vote results will be disclosed with the 
per-voters details or not.

However the voting proccess should also be described to the broader 
community (OSGeo-Discuss) before we make the final call.

I think that for important decisions (Conference, Board elections, etc.) 
the voting process should be described before the actual vote. I'm not 
saying to start a debate on OSGeo-Discuss about this. In fact I would 
probably add a note at the end of the message to tell people to come 
discuss this on the Conference list. This communication effort to the 
broader community would probably be very welcome from other members.

I can prepare a message for the Chair if you want it to be official (is 
it an official statement?) or can send it directly. Are results 
disclosed or not?

My $0.02
Julien
PS: I'm for disclosing the results, but not the by voter details, even 
if I don't vote.
PPS: Are the Conference committee members are elected by the board or 
can we just add our names to the wiki? Does this give us a voting right? 
It's not clear in the wiki.
