[OSGeo-Conf] Maria Brovelli abstention from voting Dar Es Salaam Proposal

Mon Dec 5 11:49:59 PST 2016

Dear Steven, this is just to remind you that I will abstain, due to my involvement in the organization of Dar Es Salaam Conference (this my involvement was decided after the first vote).

Best regards.

Maria

Thanks Thomas

Let’s wait until Wednesday in case anyone objects to my suggestion then I will confirm the voting procedure.

Although I note the concerns expressed at the LoI stage voting being made public. I think it is important for the sake of transparency that we are open about the voting for or against the Dar proposal (open does not mean saying who voted, your anonymisation process worked well IMO)

Cheers and thanks for being our recording officer

I'm still available to run the election with the same rules as the first round, with the difference that I will privately email results to the voting members instead of the public list. Just let me know when to start.

Regards,
Thomas

I don't need discussion time.

I prefer a vote with two options and would like “No to Dar es Salaam”
included as an option (or just change the question to "Should the
Conference Committee award FOSS4G 2018 to Dar es Salaam?" Yes/No).  I
guess I'm a stickler for formality which brings some bureaucracy.

For whoever is going to run this vote, we might want to have a quick
list discussion to see that we're all on the same page for how it will
run.

Best regards, Eli
