[Osmf-talk] Continuity

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

in the last OSMF board meeting, yesterday, we talked a bit about handing
 over business from one board to the next. It occurred to me then that
precious few of the candidates for this year's election have ever
participated as a guest in one of our board meetings, even though these
meetings have been open for a while.

It's too late for that this year, but next year I'll definitely add that
to the "questions to candidates" - whether they have listened in to
board meetings, and if not, why not. Perhaps there's something we can
improve in the way we run board meetings. I'm thinking: If someone
cannot be bothered to join a board meeting as a guest - say, because
it's too boring or too heated or too long or whatever - then that
reluctance is unlikely to immediately go away once they're elected. So
you find yourself running a board meeting that consists of lots of
people who'd rather do something else than be on a board meeting. Surely
that is not ideal...

Bye
Frederik
