Executive Director

Background
The Board has been discussing the idea of hiring one full-time staff member for OSGeo. This page is an attempt to describe the responsibilities of an Executive Director for the Foundation.

Responsibilities

 * Acting as a "mentor" for Committees in times of need.
 * Acting as an "ambassador" for OSGeo at community and industry events
 * Organising presence + materials for events
 * With VisCom, some oversight of web and documentation materials
 * With FunCom, some responsibility for managing fundraising process, grantwriting
 * Acting as primary contact person for the outside, getting requests to appropriate places

Please add what you think should be in-remit to this list! The point here is to come up with a clear job description eventually; but it would be helpful to overspecify rather than underspecify this.

Questions

 * 1) Would there be any overlap with the Collabnet staff position responsibilities?
