<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Well said!</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We as a foundation are asking people
to undertake roles of responsibility without training, guidance or in many
cases even an outline of what is required. We trust to the good will and
experience of the participants that noting will go wrong.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One day, something will go wrong and
I for one do not want to be on the receiving end.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would like to ask the board to revisit
this issue and provide clear guidance on just what support official position
holders can expect from OSGeo.</font>
