<div dir="ltr">Hi List,<div><br></div><div>Regarding the new proposal for voting in charter members- it's slightly off topic, but I doubt all existing Local Chapter representatives have been voted in by at least 3 charter members. That sets the bar quite high for new chapters as well- under the new regime if they have no existing chapter members it might not be possible for them to a) elect a chapter representative and b) get them elected as a charter member. Maybe I've misunderstood this part of the new rules?</div>

Within 2 weeks we intend to start our annual process for selecting
new OSGeo charter members.<br>
<br>
In previous years the Charter Member selection process has been a
little contentious. We typically receive numerous nominations from
high caliber members of our community, and insufficient positions to
accept them all. This typically results in unnecessary
disappointment and dissent.<br>
<br>
In response, the OSGeo board has agreed to trial tweaking the voting
process. The aim is to automatically accept recognised OSGeo
community leaders, while continuing with our existing process which
attracts the many valuable community members who contribute in other
ways. Community comments are encouraged, and will be considered over
the next week.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>No comments yet on this proposal on changing the Charter Members election procedure, everything is OK?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
