[Osmf-talk] OSMF 2020 Board election - Official candidate questions now available

[Michael Collinson]

Hi Heather,

And I forgot to add an email question asked by you before the community 
deadline. Apologies and I have added that now.  My preference is to 
prioritise specific individually-asked questions asked over questions 
from previous years. I hope that closes the issue for this year. Looking 
ahead,  we are now in our third year of this question process. Taking a 
step back, there is obviously a set of important stock questions 
emerging. I or my successor need to pay more attention to that.

Mike
