I want to nominate Mark Iliffe as charter member of OSGeo.

Mark has a lot of experience both as researcher and as a consultant of important organizations, like World Bank.
His main activities have been in coordinating mapping in developing countries examining the emergent phenomenon of community mapping and volunteered.

Das Ramani Huria, one of the project which has been seeing him involved as a main actor, is considered as a best practice for developing (and probably could also be for developed) countries.

He is also invited delegate to the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN GGIM) as an expert on Volunteered Geographic Information and geography in emerging countries.

He organised the 2013 FOSS4G Conference as a member of the local organising committee and is one of the two chairs of FOSS4G 2018 in Dar Es Salaam.

OSGEO will greatly benefit of the presence of Mark in our community.
Thanks and best regards,
Maria
