marc: contact board email list for go/no-go budget discussion (30k + 8k + 12k)
jeffery: compose email for secretary to respond to shortlisted agencies (ask for financial proposals for Feb 10th, technical response, any schedule variations)
A couple notes beyond the terse minuets - the EOI responses are commercial in confidence - so if you are interested in reading please volunteer with the marketing committee.
In general the meeting were super impressed with the responses shortlisted, a few submissions had gone the extra mile with explicitly responding to selection criteria; providing samples of their work at different budget points (above and below our budget); or small touches like including the OSGeo logo in their response.
We have responses from literally all over the world which is great being open source we are all comfortable with timezone differences. Still we may wish to reach out to a local chapter for a local contact point in the weeks ahead.
