<div>Dear Cameron, </div><div><br></div><div>I appreciate the time and effort you have put into framing questions and remarks for Jeff, although that sounds rather unusual in a Board nomination thread.</div><div><br></div><div>As a Charter Member nominating Jeff, I thought that bygones were bygones when we honored him with the prestigious Sol Katz award at FOSS4G 2016. The thunderous applause from one and all present at the Bundeshaus on August 27th 2016 still rings in my ears. And I think none in our community would have missed the passion that emanated from Jeff in his short acceptance speech, but also the continued effort he has silently put in helping the Foundation since then.</div><div><br></div><div>Whishing all candidates a great campain and election. </div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Nick </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br>Le mercredi 11 octobre 2017, Steven Feldman <<a href="mailto:shfeldman@gmail.com">shfeldman@gmail.com</a>> a écrit :<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Jeff<div><br></div><div>I agree with Cameron, I think the charter members are entitled to an explanation as to why you resigned from the board twice in the middle of a period of service. </div><div><br></div><div>I, for one, would like to understand the basis on which we can be assured that if you are elected for a third time the pattern of resignation will not be repeated</div><div><br></div><div>Regards<br><div>
