[OSGeo-Discuss] New Charter Member Nominations

[Arnulf Christl (OSGeo)]

Dear OSGeo members,
this is a gentle reminder that the new member nomination ends on Friday
this week [0]. If we have more than 20 nominations this will be followed
by the two week elections period starting on Saturday 7 July and ending
on 20 July.

One questions came up a few times, this is to clarify things:

> I have a question about supporting candidates, I know in person the
> majority of them and am glad to see their candidature. Shall I second
> their nominations in each thread, or can I send a global mail
> mentioning all the candidates I wish to support?

There is no formal need (as in "required") to second nominations to the
CRO. If you wish to express your support for any candidate please do so
on the discuss list. Whether in one or in many emails is up to you.

A request:
PLEASE be so kind and send the email address of the nominee along with
the nomination to ! cro at osgeo.org ! (as is clearly noted in the
instructions... :-).
It makes it so much easier for us to send out the confirmation emails
and maintain the nominee list. And if you really want to make it easy,
please also send your own OSGeo Wiki user page and the nominee's along.
And while you are at it check out the OSGeo Advocate [1] page.

Thank you,
Arnulf

(*) On the New Member Nomination page it incorrectly said 5 July,
changed now to 6 July. My bad, apologies.
