<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">Hi Jody,</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">Thanks for this info. My suggestion is that we also allow the Geo4All community to provide inputs and work on the various scenarios provided and make it detailed before the AB members vote. So my
suggestion for the timeline for this is</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">till Dec 15th - All community members to provide inputs/feedbacks for the scenarios</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">Dec16th -Jan 10th - AB members to vote on their choice of scenario</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">The scenarios proposed should also focus on the fundamental point that you raised - "are you happy with OSGeo signing MOUs to add new members to GeoForAll, or do you want to be an osgeo subcommittee
and do it yourself, …. or do you want to set up a new legal entity."</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">It is important that there is strong checks in place for ensuring Open Principles in Geoeducation are safeguarded in the longterm and that is why it is very important that MoUs are ONLY signed with
like minded organisations . This will ensure that in future also no MoUs are signed with any organisations who might have properitery interests or agenda . We have to ensure that all the good work and efforts put in by colleagues globally for Open Principles
in Geoeducation is protected. Hence, it is important that OSGeo (i.e OSGeo Board) should be the final decision maker on all MoUs on behalf of Geo4All (as we are doing now). Once OSGeo Board approves an MoU with an external organisation, then the OSGeo President
can sign the MoU with that organisation. </div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">The Advisory Board has done excellent work to bring in strategic inputs from the wider Geo community for expanding the Geo4All initiative and we need to take steps to strengthen it. The AB has to
concentrate on the efforts on refining the criteria, initiating new educational ideas, expansion plans for teacher training etc .</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; ">I am sure with the collective wisdom of everyone we will find a solution which firmly protects Open Principles in Geoeducation and is acceptable for all .</div>

<div dir="ltr">I did not pay attention, it was a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/11k-Rld4CPBjxUhuI9W7OZ8_UxSlXaKsmtP1Ix7iOrCY/edit" target="_blank">
google doc</a> that I added some comments too and then was volunteered to port it to the wiki (OSGeo is good at volunteering you for stuff). The original was pretty bad with many off topic questions ...
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I did update the diagrams on the wiki, I still think that wiki page misses the fundamental point - "are you happy with OSGeo signing MOUs to add new members to GeoForAll, or do you want to be an osgeo subcommittee and do it yourself, .... or do you want
to set up a new legal entity.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally: I kind of hope for OSGeo's sake that we can play this roll - since it is part of our mandate and GeoForAll represents a great success of the values we believe in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a Board member for OSGeo I do not really mind what happens so long as everyone is happy.</div>

<div>I want to strongly state that OSGeo is not (and has never) asked for any restriction to promoting OSGeo projects. Our mandate at OSGeo is with respect to promoting open source software - irregardless of origin.
<br>
<br>
The scenarios are identical in this respect - I apologize if their was any misunderstanding. I tried to provide examples that showed this.
<br>
<br>
We do strongly ask that participation in open source be emphasized. Software is paid for in love or money - ask your students to show some love.<br>
<br>
If your choice of scenario was at all influenced by this misunderstanding I encourage you to evaluate the proposals again - they are just about organization structure.

<div><br>
</div>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Recently there had been discussions on the future directions for Geo4All .There were different opinions and hence we arranged a meeting at Como to discuss this and find a way forward. Following lot of discussions among
our members in our mail lists etc and the meeting at Como[1] that was led by Charlie Schweik ,the consensus was that OSGeo Education and Curriculum Committee and GeoForAll are the same and it is now GeoForAll: OSGeo's Education and Curriculum Effort as reflected
in OSGeo website at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.osgeo.org/education" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org/education</a> . Venka has also presented this outcomes at FOSS4G Seoul [2]. Geo4All will continue to be inclusive and include all partners that
OSGeo Board have MOUs with for expanding this OSGeo' Geo4All education initiative and warmly welcome everyone who are following the principles.</font></p>
<div><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Geo4All initiative was started with the key aim to build up OSGeo's education aims by collaborating with like minded organisations and it is one of the most successful initiatives that we have undertaken. OSGeo Board
has made separate MoUs with both ICA and ISPRS for expanding Geo4All and universities,SMEs, government organisations etc worldwide have trusted the MoUs that OSGeo provided and setup labs and joined the network , so it is important we provide strong continuity
and focus. MoUs have to be respected and the momentum created need to build upon with clear direction and focus. It is important that proper structures are in place and steps need to be taken to ensure the smooth transition to GeoForAll as OSGeo's Education
and keep collaborating with ICA, ISPRS and other organisations that OSGeo has MoU with. This will also make sure the efforts put in by lot of volunteers for this is build upon for the future.</font></p>
<div><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></div>
<p><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255); color:rgb(37,37,37); line-height:14px"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Geo4All had been working hard to expand OSGeo education activities globally .Members have been running courses,training events,workshops
using OSGeo software, MOOC programs (that benefitted thousands of students globally) etc have raised OSGeo education efforts globally. Geo4All members have been actively contributing to OSGeo Curriculum development effort and will continue to expand this
by having more course materials in various OSGeo software added to the OSGeo education repository for everyone to make use of for their teaching and education.</font></span></p>
<div><br>
</div>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">We will welcome and include all partners that OSGeo Board have MOUs with for expanding this OSGeo' Geo4All education initiative and warmly welcome everyone who are following the principles. That way the OSGeo Board will
be able to keep expanding the initiative and to make MoUs with other organisations etc as we are doing now (ICA, ISPRS) and also in future .</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12px">So steps need to be taken to ensure the smooth transition to GeoForAll as OSGeo's Education and keep collaborating with ICA, ISPRS and other organisations that OSGeo has MoU with. This will also

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">There are some steps that are outlined below and looking through the options - Scenario 1 seems to be best option based on the Como discussions for ensure the smooth transition to GeoForAll as OSGeo's Education and
keep collaborating with ICA, ISPRS and other organisations that OSGeo has MoU with.</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">In this case, the Geo4All Advisory Board would include representatives from our partners like ICA, ISPRS etc. Geo4All Advisory Board comprises of representatives from ICA, ISPRS, OSGeo and other organisations that join
in future. As a partner in the Geo4All initiative, a Project Steering Committee (PSC) comprising of VP OSGeo Foundation (Education and Curriculum Project) and other representatives (e.g Regional Chairs of Geo4All) need to be constituted within the OSGeo Foundation.
The PSC could liaise with Geo4All Advisory Board to evolve way and means to achieve mutual goals and objectives. </font></p>
