[OSGeo-Discuss] 2019 OSGeo UN Committee Educational Challenge

[Jonathan Moules]

I've just taken a look at this and noticed this line as one of the 
evaluation criteria:


 > Proposer’s age (20 if <= 40 years old; 0 if >40 years old): 20 (max)

When did explicit age discrimination (i.e. ageism) become acceptable?


It seems to run counter to the OSGeo Goal of:
"be a welcoming and inclusive worldwide organization at all levels;"


Not to mention the Code of Conduct:

"OSGeo welcomes and encourages participation by everyone" - as long as 
you're young?
