[OSGeo-Discuss] 2022 elections announcement

[Vicky Vergara]

Dear OSGeo charter members,

This year OSGeo elections [1] will start on Monday September 26, 2022, with
the

nomination period for new Charter Members.
Right after the Charter member elections, we'll proceed with Board
elections.

We invite you to be proactive from now on and start contacting potential
candidates!


It is important that charter members have a profile page on the OSGeo
website.

>From 2006 to now, many members might have changed email, which we think has
been one of the reasons for almost 100 members that have not participated
in the voting process for at least 4 years. Another possible reason, may be
the wish to retire from the duties of charter member.

CRO email for communication: cro at osgeo.org

** Current email **


Starting this year, the charter member’s email address will be taken from
the membeŕs profile page on the OSGeo website. The charter members mailing
list will be updated accordingly.

During the nomination process, please create your charter members profile
page, if you don’t have one, and set your current and valid email address,
and write to cro at osgeo.org stating your profile page information and the
charter number you have assigned in:

https://www.osgeo.org/about/charter-members/

When asking for the mantra (needed for ldap account), mention that you are
a charter member, please give the number you have assigned in the charter
member list.

** Request for retirement **

If you wish to retire from being a charter member, let us know by writing
to cro at osgeo.org
