<div>Coming back to this discussion; thank you all who

<div>With the words of wisdom from Frank, Jody, and others
-- is it fair to say that Charter Members have the
responsibility of voting, as well as "preserving the
integrity of the OSGeo Foundation"? That seems a less,
well, hostile, way to express the main idea that seems
to have come out of this discussion.</div>

<div>Hi discuss,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the notification emails from CRO to new
charter member nominees, the following is
included (emphasis mine):</div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>"(Charter Members) have the following
responsibilities: (1) annually vote for
OSGeo Board Members; (2) annually vote for
new OSGeo Charter Members and (3) <b>be
aware of and protect against a hostile
takeover of OSGeo.</b>"</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have had more than one nominee of mine
contact me asking what exactly this means. I
agree with their concerns: this is strange
language to use, is not reflected in our
bylaws, and frankly does not fit the image I
presented when I first contacted them asking
if they would accept a nomination.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It may be a language barrier or simply a
misunderstanding, but can we clarify what is
meant by using this kind of verbiage, and
consider a re-wording? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Sara</div>
