<p>Thinking about this overnight, I realised that it is probably
important to provide a freedom index to reference back to. I found
this:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index">https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index</a></p>
<p>I'd be happy to reference some other index if someone knows of
one?<br>

I have worked through the comments and suggested changes to the
RfP and accepted most and commented back on others. <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">I have taken some exec/personal decisions on this doc to try and get it finished, apologies if I have misinterpreted your wishes.</span>

<div class="">
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Blind submission of proposals. This doesn’t
need to be in the RfP doc - we can decide to implement the
process later and notify when we start stage 2</li>
<li class="">We need to agree the length and positioning of
the AGM relative to other activity. I think a mandatory 2
hour AGM with no other activities running in parallel is
too long. Either keep to 1 hour and run straight after the
plenary session on day 2 or run for 2 hours but allow
other activities in parallel. <br class="">
Personally I find the long series of slides and speakers
on every chapter and project tedious, the AGM needs to be
more focussed and punchy and reaching out to both existing
and potential members. <br class="">
The Annual Report should be published as a slide deck or
document for everyone to read regardless of whether they
are at FOSS4G</li>
<li class="">Are we going to run a member meeting as well as
an AGM? If so is it a parallel session or a plenary type
activity.</li>
<li class="">I have tried to improve the Diversity and
Inclusion section, are you happy with that?</li>
<li class="">The section on video (and streaming) needs
approval. It currently reads “<span

I would be happy to work on setting up a location
where the files can be placed. If possible, I would
make it so that when the file is posted an email
goes out to the conference list and the conference

Thanks for this all. I've added a section
regarding commitment to diversity and inclusion,
with the addition of whether LGBTQ+/other groups
are legally discriminated against with the
country- this is considering the experience of the
Dar team and efforts that we went to.<br class="">

FYI - I added some edits and comments.<br

<br class="">
Most importantly to me and perhaps should be
discussed here is that I think that we should
make the collection of the full proposals
private until we are ready to release them all
on the wiki. This would make it possible for
people who turned their proposals early to feel
secure that their competitors are not using the
information from their publicly shared proposal
in the competitive bid.<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have an objection to this?<br

Dear CC!<br class="">
<br class="">
We have a draft of the RfP document for the
2020 call now:<br class="">
<br class="">
The draft RfP is<br class="">
at <a

<br class="">
Due to Steven, this is an open document,
anyone with the link can view<br class="">
and comment.<br class="">
<br class="">
I know we are little late, but the document is
based on the RfP of the<br class="">
past years. Feel free to comment on this
document until *this* friday<br class="">
(14.09.2018) 12h CET, after that I will kick
out the call for 2020 and<br class="">
we have to finalize the document and resolute
all comments.<br class="">
<br class="">
Special thanks to Steven and Michael, who did
the main work and<br class="">
improvements on this document!<br class="">
