2024/Res41 OSMF Travel Request for Dani to go to SotM LATAM
The Board has discussed its plans to engage more with regional SOTMs whenever possible, especially when economically/financially feasible.
I, Daniela (Dani) Waltersdorfer, am volunteering myself to attend and present, and represent the OSMF at SOTM LATAM which will be hosted in Belem, Brazil. Travel options to Belem are a bit complicated due to the many layovers, but it is an effort and opportunity we, the OSMF, believe to be grand for it will allow us to engage with the Latin American OSM Community. I want to note that by volunteering this also means that I am taking at least 1.5 days off from work. I am okay with this when considering the benefits of engaging with our community. Costs broken down by different airfare options and hotels are below. Please note that I am including the Economy fares and not "basic economy" so that I can bring my carry-on luggage and our OSMF Banner box. |

Any other business
On circular 2024/Res43 active contributor membership application #2024052810000438
Suggested by Dorothea.
The application #2024052810000438 which was voted by the previous board, had 3 votes in favour, but it failed because not enough board members voted. It needed at least one more vote in favour to get approved. According to the board rules of order, "Any circular not passing may be raised as an agenda item at a board meeting for discussion and vote." (Rule 7.6 of board rules of order).
Decision: Create a new circular for the same application, so that the new board can vote on it.
