[OSGeo-Conf] Voting Review

[Cameron Shorter]

+1 for chair to have 1.5 votes.

David, I see this as a vote for the conference committee to decide how 
to avoid a tie breaker. It is not involving the board in the CC list.

However, I'd suggest that a chair having 1.5 votes would be something 
that all OSGeo committees would benefit from adopting.
