[OSGeo-Discuss] Director's Insurance (Chickens, Boards and Export Restrictions)

[Bruce.Bannerman at dpi.vic.gov.au]

IMO:

Cameron,

Well said!


We as a foundation are asking people to undertake roles of responsibility 
without training, guidance or in many cases even an outline of what is 
required. We trust to the good will and experience of the participants 
that noting will go wrong.

One day, something will go wrong and I for one do not want to be on the 
receiving end.


I would like to ask the board to revisit this issue and provide clear 
guidance on just what support official position holders can expect from 
OSGeo.


Bruce
