[Board] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 2011 Charter Member Election Results

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Venka,

68 of our 104 charter member members voted: 65%. I find that a bit low, but bought that maybe I should have worked harder to send more reminders during the week?

We should definitely retire members who did not vote for 3 consecutive years. We already have a policy to that effect and I believe our secretary (Michael Gerlek) was planning to do that after the election.
