[Qgis-psc] Call for nominations for new QGIS community voting member

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Thanks a lot Harrisou and Sandro for the inputs,
I think nominating can really be very broad, so I agree that we could
clarify that this should be broad.

The best would, as Tim said,  be to raise a matter for the AGM next month.

Cheers
Marco
