Thanks for pointing such stipulation, Eli.

I have drafted a call for sponsorship
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/11rRUw75YgUNjP_9w2ElsGuGr9T8v4kD5Gfh9-wxFzhE/edit&gt;
that
includes "Digital asset rebranding and website reboot" as an initiative for
sponsorship. My description could use your feedback:

  - *Digital asset rebranding and website reboot: The marketing
  committee has volunteered to undertake an EOI process to revamp the OSGeo
  visual and online presence in 2017. This is significant user-focused
  undertaking that would greatly benefit from your support!*

I would love to have a wiki page, or a draft EOI, to link to (similar to

how I can link to the foss4g europe, foss4g boston and code sprint
websites).

The board meeting is tomorrow, I expect the above document to be sent out
at that time.

Hi all,

Has the Marketing Committee decided on whether OSGeo Sponsors must be
at least in some tangential way related to open source or geospatial
software? I think that we should only accept relevant sponsors and
have the option to decline sponsorships.

QGIS has a good example of a policy,
http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sponsorship/sponsorship.html#qgis-sponsorship-program
(at the bottom):

Warning
Acceptance of sponsorship offers is at the discretion of the QGIS PSC.
We reserve the right to decline offers of sponsorship if the
sponsoring organisation or party seems to be at odds with the ethos of
our project. For example offers from marketing companies that have
nothing to do with GIS / spatial services, or offers where we have
reason to believe the presence of the sponsors logo and marketing
materials on our site and other materials will degrade the experience
of our users will be declined.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Best regards, Eli

This is a rather bold and clear policy. A simple policy (if we don't
anticipate problems) could be as short as "...subject to approval."

I agree the entire stipulation is not required, just "subject to board
approval" would work.
