[OSGeo-Discuss] 2017 membership process reminder

[Vasile Craciunescu]

Dear all,

I would like to remind you that the rules/steps for 2017 OSGeo new 
charter members nomination[1] are described in the Membership Process 
wiki page[2]. To summarize, if you want to nominate a person you should:

1. confirm with the nominated person first;
2. email cro at osgeo.org with their name, contact email and paragraph 
describing why you are recommending this person as a Charter Member;

The CRO will verify with the nominee that they are willing to stand for 
nomination and then will send the nomination to discuss at osgeo.org.

I'm sending this reminder because some nominations did not follow those 
steps. More specifically, some nominations were sent directly to this 
list, CC-ing or not the CRO. All those nominations and the seconded 
votes will be considered after nominee confirmation to the CRO that is 
willing to stand for nomination (confirmation emails already sent by CRO).

Best,
Vasile & Jeff (your 2017 OSGeo Elections CROs)
