Reminder: Nominations for the OSGeo Oceania Board are Open

Dear OSGeo Oceania Member,

OSGeo Oceania yearly election process for the board of directors is now in
full swing and the OSGeo Board would like to thank Tim Bowden for taking on
the Returning Officer role for this election process.

Director nominations are currently open, there are “How To” instructions
below. You can find more information about the election process on OSGeo
Oceania wiki <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania> or a full description of
our election process and timeline here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ehLJ4nGNpUiJyQGVdvRDks6ppjKc5dro-kAHupsudrc/edit?usp=sharing>.
Director nominations close on 22 November 2020*.



Please be aware that being a Director on our Board is a formal role, and
has a number of responsibilities attached. Also, since we have no
employees, Directors are active in an operational sense, and not just in a
strategy. Have a read of this AICD document on Board Director
responsibilities
<https://aicd.companydirectors.com.au/-/media/cd2/resources/director-resources/director-tools/pdf/05446-6-2-duties-directors_general-duties-directors_a4-web.ashx>
and of our Terms of Reference
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/13aZ6L08ke1-l32I7c00MahyEKgxeZkq8/edit>
and please get in touch with a current Board member if you have any
questions, these can be found on the OSGeo Oceania wiki
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania>.

If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else to sit on the Board,
