Maria, Venka, Steven, Eli and I have revisited the
proposed conference committee processes, addressing
previous concerns from Maria and Venka. After some
adjustments, we are all now happy with the text [1]. <br>
<br>
Could all please run your eyes over this and comment on
whether you think it is ok, or whether you think there
is something extra needing to be changed. <br>
<br>
Once we have heard from the majority of the committee
(preferably all), and any comments raised have been
addressed, I'll start a motion as a separate email
thread to finalise these processes. I'll leave up to 2
weeks, till 10 Jan for people to comment). <br>
<br>
The changes include: <br>
<br>
* There is no set number of people on the committee,
just a requirement that global FOSS4G chairs/co-chairs
make up more than 50% of the committee. <br>
<br>
* Major decisions will have a minimum of 1 week for
people to vote to try and ensure there is sufficient
time for most (if not all) committee members to vote. <br>
<br>
* A number of other minor tweaks to the text. <br>
<br>
Note: We currently have 11 global foss4g chair/co-chairs
on the conference committee. Based on proposed rules, we
have space for 10 more people on the committee (totaling
21). We currently have 16 members [2] listed. <br>
<br>
Jeroen, Helena, you both recently volunteered to step
down from the committee. I'm hopeful that you might
reconsider and rejoin. <br>

like to suggest one further minor refinement to item
#1 of "FOSS4G selection" based on the 2017
competition (as the situation did not arise with the
2018 competition generating only one proposal). We
would respectfully suggest that the final Proposals
<u>not</u> be posted directly to the Conference Dev
list by the proposing cities, but rather to an
intermediary, who would then post them publicly
after the global deadline has passed. In the 2017
competition there was a gap of >8 hours between
when the first proposal was submitted, and the last.
And this gap provides the late submitters an
opportunity to look at the earlier submittals before
submitting. I don't suggest that anything untoward
happened in 2017, but the "public posting" process
accommodates an opportunity for this to happen and
is very easily remedied. A simple sentence added to
#1 would cover this: "Final FOSS4G proposals will be
emailed by the proposing cities to an intermediary,
named by Conference Dev, before the deadline; and
the intermediary will post them publicly the day
following the deadline."</div>
