<p>Hi Maxi,</p>
<p>Addressing your concerns re conference committee members electing
new members onto the committee:</p>
<p>1. This is in line with OSGeo conventions for other OSGeo
committees and projects. The only committee voted in by OSGeo
Advocates is the OSGeo Board. There is a reason for this.
Committee members typically have much greater insight into their
project/domain, and as such will make better decisions about
inviting in wise decision makers.<br>
</p>
<p>2. The people best qualified to provide pragmatic and insightful
conference related decisions are those who have spent a year
preparing for and then running a conference.<br>
</p>
<p>3. To mitigate the risk of a self serving committee, Steven has
also provided the opportunity for the board members to vote in the
committee.<br>
</p>

<p>Hi Maria, Massimiliano,</p>
<p>I agree with Stephen's pragmatism. What is proposed is
better than before.</p>
<p>It is probably not perfect, but we are unlikely to meet
everyone's ideal expectations, and lets put a "rough
consensus" solution in place. We can potentially revisit
and tweak next year if volunteers are willing to step up
and change things.</p>
<p>Based on proposed rules, it is time for me to retire from
the conference committee. (I was chair in foss4g 2009). I
plan to continue offering my services to help building the
FOSS4G Handbook. I'm happy to do so whether I'm re-elected
to the committee or not. <br>
</p>

<div>I think the regional distribution will come about
naturally with the rotation of FOSS4G chairs, perhaps we

<div>I agree with you that we should aspire to have more
women on the committee and also on the wider conference
mail list. We don’t currently have reserved places for
women on the Board, Charter membership or PSCs to my
knowledge. Shouldn’t this topic be a subject for wider
discussion across the community. In the meantime those
voting in the 2016 election could factor gender into
their choices.</div>

<div>Yes, but basically no
seats will be available
according to the rule of
having half of the
committee from latest
events: oldest out, recent
in so oldest no way to get
in again ;-) unless others
resign (apart from the
three)</div>

*** we will probably continue to use an
independent teller as we have in the
past. If the board adopts loomio or some
other system for votes we may decide to
change to that. We need to get things
done rather than spending a lot of time
considering every list member’s idea of
what voting software we should use.<br>

I would ask
committee members
(and list
participants) to
comment on this
proposal by 18.00
GMT Wednesday 14th
September. I will
then call for a
vote amongst
committee members
only, the vote
will close at
18.00 GMT on
Sunday 18th
September. <br>
<br>
Once the
membership policy
has been agreed we
will then need to
apply the policy
to the existing
membership. I
suggest that we
ask all current
members to confirm
whether they wish
to remain
committee members
and then hold an
election (if
needed). To this
end it would be
helpful if each
committee member
could update their
record on the wiki
page to show when
they joined the
conference
committee (see my
example). <br>
<br>
The intention is
that a 2016-7
committee of 11
will have been
selected before we
vote on the LoI’s
for 2018, which is
likely to be
before the end of
October.<br>
