Hi CRO,

I would like to nominate Mikel Maron as a Charter Member of OSGeo

Mikel has been a long time collaborator and contributor to Open Source
and Open Data geospatial projects including being one of the earliest
contributors to OpenStreetMap and providing leadership throughout its
history. He currently leads the Community Team at Mapbox and was
formerly a Presidential Innovation Fellow at the US State Department
helping to drive OpenStreetMap adoption across federal agencies. He is
co-founder of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, co-founder of Map
Kibera and GroundTruth Initiative and current Board member of the
OpenStreetMap Foundation.

Best regards,

Jeff Johnson
