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*

*How to nominate*
Nominations are not yet open, however you can start thinking about whether
you would like to nominate yourself or someone else to sit on the Board. To
nominate someone you will need to send an email with the candidate's name,
their usual place of residence (town/city/country), and a brief statement
on why the person would make a good director. Nominations can be sent
between 8 - 22 November 2020 to *elections at osgeo-oceania.org
<elections at osgeo-oceania.org>*.
