[OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

[Jeff McKenna]

Interesting Andy, I can see how that RCV/PR/ranking could help better 
representation from our local chapters.  I think after the dust settles 
on this election, we should all then take a deep breath and sit back and 
analyze this 2017 election process, and together (as Charter members) 
make a proposal for future elections - I'd prefer to see this proposal 
happen in the next month, while it is still fresh in all of our minds - 
Andy it would be great to have your input on this.

PS. happy to be a part of the OSGeo animal kingdom (reference to the 
video in Andy's link ha)
