[OSGeo-Discuss] REMINDER: OSGeo 2021 Board elections: call for nominations (2021-11-25 to 2021-12-09)

[Anne Ghisla]

Dear OSGeo members,

we need 4 more nominations for the vacant Board seats, ideally more!

We invite you to get in contact with fellow Charter members interested
in joining the Board, and contact us until Thursday, December 9th, with
your nomination.

You are welcome to contact current Board members to ask about workload,
responsibilities, and any information that new Board candidates may need
before accepting the nomination.

Looking forward for your nomination emails!

Warm regards,
Anne Ghisla and Jorge Gustavo Rocha
your 2021 OSGeo Elections CROs
