[OSGeo-Conf] [Board] Motion: Authorizing FOSS4G NA 2013 Agreement

[Frank Warmerdam]

Daniel,

Sorry, I seem to have missed that - I just reviewed the other documents.

I hearby withdraw my motion.  Daniel, would you be willing to reissue
a corrected motion we can vote on?

Sorry for the mixup.

Best regards,
Frank
