A survey of all Charter Members was performed before the 2015 election, asking about a preference for the method to select new Charter Members ([http://geo-spatial.org/osgeo_survey/final_osgeo_survey_results.html link to results]).  Although not enough Charter Members responded to indicate a strong preference, the survey was very useful to receive thoughts from members.  The OSGeo Board later would decide to keep the same process as in the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Election_2014 2014 Elections].
 
 
 
==== 2014 Process Changes ====
 
 
 
Previous to 2014, the Charter Member selection process had been a little contentious. We typically received numerous nominations from high caliber members of our community, and insufficient positions to accept them all. This typically resulted in unnecessary disappointment and dissent.
 
 
 
In response, in 2014, the OSGeo board [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2014-July/011785.html agreed] to update the voting process. The aim was to accept all recognised OSGeo members who exhibit [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process#Positive_Attributes Positive OSGeo Attributes].
 
 
 
A key change was that there is no arbitrary limit for the number of new OSGeo charter members.
