[OSGeo Oceania] Fwd: OSGeo Oceania Board Terms of Reference Update for Review

[John Bryant]

Hi,

I received the below email a few weeks ago, regarding proposed changes to
the OSGeo Oceania Terms of Reference. The original document was extensively
discussed [1] and ratified [2] on the public mailing list in November and
December 2018, immediately following the Melbourne conference.

I see the first Terms of Reference as the formal origin of the organisation
that later became incorporated as OSGeo Oceania. To me, it represents an
agreement between the board and the community, spelling out the rules of
the organisation, and asking for a mandate to represent the existing
community. As such, I think it's an important foundational piece and it
would be good to know how it's changing.

So that we can clearly understand what is proposed, would someone from the
OSGeo Oceania board be willing to provide some explanation of the changes?

Thanks
John

OSGeo Oceania Board Terms of Reference

Hello OSGeo Oceania members.

The OSGeo Oceania Board has updated its Terms of Reference and is providing
the draft to the community for review and comment, before finalising and
ratifying them at the next board meeting. This update is Version 2.0 and is
drafted to define the purpose and structure of the Board and how it
operates.

All comments are due by 6th August and preferably should be made via the
Oceania list, or directly in the shared documents.

You can access the two documents here:

   - Existing Terms of Reference 1.0
