<br>
recently two different people who used to work for (different) large<br>
companies dealing with OSM told me that their employers regularly<br>
suggested that everyone became an OSMF member, reimbursed them for the<br>
membership fee, and also circulated "suggested voting" instructions for<br>
the OSMF elections.<br>
<br>
(I have no idea if this is true and no way to verify it, but it doesn't<br>
sound far-fetched. I'd be happy to hear if anyone has witnessed such<br>
dynamics first-hand.)<br>
<br>
I've discussed this with a few people and the reactions ranged from<br>
"this is outrageous" over "what did you expect" to "this is totally ok,<br>
after all there's enough other people publishing their own voting<br>
recommendations on the lists too".<br>
<br>
What's your opinion on this?<br>
<br>
I've tried my hand at setting up a "LimeSurvey" instance which asks the<br>
question and if it works all right it will show some statistics directly<br>
after you've replied:<br>

<br>
Though I am also interested in a more detailed discussion on the topic.<br>
Is it an issue? Are there lessons to learn from other nonprofit<br>
organisations?<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
