[OSGeo Oceania] [Oceania-Board] OSGeo Oceania Annual General Meeting Announcement

[Adam Steer]

Hey Alex, all

Could procedural stuff (treasurers report, acceptance of reports) be
dealt with outside of the meeting (eg circulated to members some time
ahead, approved or not, and presented)? it doesn't make sense to wait
till the AGM to present reports, in case debate ensues and consumes
all the time.

Then procedural reporting could be a lot shorter, and the election of
directors / questions to directors longer, and also in one time block
together.

...and what about having everyone just join a meeting? I think that it
would be great for the highly distributed Oceania community to all
have the option of seeing each other.

Last point - there was barely any time for directors to provide input
[1]. I think it is important to allow volunteer directors more than
two days to digest a proposal and respond.

Cheers,

Adam
