[Osmf-talk] OSMF Members Request for a General Meeting

Would be very good to see how this would specifically affect all current and past Board members, in terms of how much longer they can serve, or how long they would have to wait to serve again.

Also, Simon, since you are proposing and advocating these amendments, would be good to know your intentions in regard to future Board elections. Would you be putting yourself in the running again, if spaces on the Board opened up?
 
Thanks
Mikel

Naturally 2014 financial would be presented at such a meeting. As I've already pointed out from a regulatory pov the report needs to be distributed to the members before the end of May in any case, so this would work out nicely.
