> Hi all,
>
> Our administrative assistant, Dorothea, has worked with the Board and
> various Working Groups for almost two years now. Her annual contract is
> almost up, and we plan to extend it for another year. We believe that
> having this paid position has made significant positive impact on the
> functioning of the OSM Foundation. Specifically:
>
> * The Board has drastically improved its transparency by way of much
> improved minutes and other reporting.[1]
> * The Board has had more time to focus on more initiatives, and has been
> able to use the time they have more efficiently. To give two examples: we
> were able to sign on 3 new Local Chapters, and 7 new Corporate Members
> (worth €53k annually). Dorothea was instrumental in improving the processes
> and communication enabling this.
> * Internal Board procedures are now much better documented, further
> contributing to our functioning.
> * Dorothea oversaw the SotM scholarship program, which was a success: we
> enabled 15 community members from all over the world to connect with the
> global OSM community.
> * The Legal WG has benefited from Dorothea's administrative help, and she
> has assisted MWG as well, most notably with running the OSMF board
> elections.
>
> There may be other WGs that could benefit from Dorothea's help. If this
> turns out to be the case, we will consider increasing the number of hours
> on the contact.
>
> The extension of Dorothea's contract will be voted on during the next OSMF
> board meeting, on January 18. We welcome your feedback on the above before
> then. You can email us at board at osmfoundation.org as usual.

> Best,
> Martijn

> also continue to follow our regular Board meeting minutes, which have
> become much more informative!
