[OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections Voting

[Massimiliano Cannata]

HI,
my 2 cents to the discussion...

I like the Stefano idea [1] where people can assign preferences and even
understanding
possible practical issues on changing the rules on the "fly", i believe
that if the proposal
of changing the rules meet a large consensum, it may worth to be applied.
