Rfp-Possible-Improvements

Improvements to the RFP process:

• not mentioned that OSGeo expects a complimentary booth in the exhibition space (Nottingham)
• not mentioned that the LOC needs to have an entity (such as a professional conference organising company) in place for handling the bank part of the conference organising (Portland)
• OSGeo should provide guidance on whether "key people" from projects should have free passes to the event, how many, and how they should be allocated
• OSGeo should be responsible for providing marketing materials and staff for their exhibition booth (this can be delegated to the LOC where possible but the prime responsibility should be OSGeo) [<--My comment on this is that it can't be delegated to the LOC since they are busy with a conference. Perhaps it can be delegated to adjacent Local OSGeo Chapters?]
• add question about laws, that threaten the diversity of our community:

 * text proposal: "FOSS4G attracts a global, diverse community. Are there any laws, or social norms, in your proposed location that would make members of our community feel unsafe or unwelcome? That could include, but is not limited to, anti-LGBTQ+ policies, policies that would prevent the free exercise of religion, restrictions on certain activities based on gender or other factor, etc?”"
