<p>Thank you very much Andy!</p>
<p>I see this document for the first time... very interesting.</p>
<p>I believe some (most?) of the actual OSGeo Charter Members may
also see this certificate the first time now? ;-)</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

<p>Dear Markus,<br>
</p>
thanks, I know that there is a list of Charter Members, I
also know about the election process. My question was
about "what is the OSGeo Charter". E.g. a document, or
something intangible, I do not know? My point is, if this
suddenly becomes a criteria for an evaluation, this needs
to be well defined.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Christian<br>
