  • Phrasing attempt: "Be aware of and protect against any hostile takeover attempts of OSGeo or OSGeo resources, including an awareness of this potential threat whenever changing the organizational structure, especially the charter member and board election processes"* *We believe this threat to be incredibly low or non-existent but err on the side of caution.
