Hey Folks

Firstly, I think this is a fantastic achievement and some tangible progress and recognition of our new organisation.

I have had a quick read through of the document and have no concerns.

I don't think there's anything onerous that we need external advice on, so I'm inclined for us to vote on this and for me to sign (as Chair).

Where is OSM saying we need to return it by Saturday?

Cheers,

[cc'ed to board list for recordkeeping - Andrew and Ed please remove
oceania-board at lists.osgeo.org<mailto:oceania-board at lists.osgeo.org> from the cc list to avoid spamming Alex,
thnx, we can put your responses in context so they don't get lost]

Thanks Greg, Ed I'd have to look at the history of decisions about
this to remember whether the board has already said 'yep, lets ratify
this'. If that isn't documented I think a Loomio poll will be fine,
and I will go and vote 'yes do it' as soon as one exists. Noting the
normal need to have 7 days response for a vote: can OSMF wait a few
days? I can respond immediately, the way to move faster / get it done
by Saturday is having all the board responding by Friday ;)

I don't see any problem with the agreement as is, I also think that it
is fine for Alex or you or Trisha to sign. it doesn't matter that
elections are soon, the work has all been done by people here now.

Cheers,

Adam

We have done the ground work in getting OSM to this stage, and I personally feel that with a simple board approval it can be signed by one of the executive Board members (Alex, Trish or myself).
