> Final words
>
> As a CRO, I tried to serve this role as best possible.  Looking back on
> the last few weeks, and having various off-list discussions, while at
> Bonn last week, I identify and reflect on mistakes and things I could
> have done better.
>
> In time, I will try to collect some of the experiences and compose a
> wiki-page (in trac).  However, I'd like to stress the following: I feel
> and think that I did not insist as much as I should, to assist in
> profiling better the candidates.
>
> There is this important question, asked by Micha Silver end of July (see
> https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2016-July/074529.html),
> "what we should expect from PSC members?"
>
> Some of the candidates went a bit deeper in presenting themselves.
> Others were less lengthy in their writing. All good.
>
> However, I propose herewith, for the next PSC election, the following: 
> set as a
> requirement, for each candidate, to answer this very question as being
> asked from the community: "What should the community expect from your
> PSC membership?".
>
>
> Thank you.
> GRASS-GIS' CRO
>
> As Nikos, thank you to the previous PSC for accepting me as the CRO this
> year.
