[OSGeo-Discuss] Nominating Jody Garnett to serve another term as an OSGeo Board member

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

I second this nomination. In addition to his many other successes, Jody 
is an outstanding mentor and recruiter of new OSGeo participants, and 
has by example taught others to do the same. Jody has grown OSGeo's most 
valuable resource: people.

Kind regards,
Ben.
