[Sur] email motion 2017-19

[Walter Bender]

Motion: To appoint Claudia Urrea to the oversight-board seat that opened
due to the resignation of Laura Vargas. This temporary appointment would
last until the next oversight board election in 2018.

This was discussed at today's oversight-board meeting [1], but since we
lacked a quorum we could not take a vote. Hence this email. Please respond
ASAP.

The gist of the discussion was:

<walterbender> #topic replacing Laura on the board
<walterbender> Laura Vargas has resigned her seat on the board. I think we
should fill the vacancy with a temporary appointment.
<walterbender> Her seat was up in fall 2018.
<walterbender> So it would be a 9-10 month appointment.
<walterbender> I propose Claudia Urrea
<walterbender> for several reasons:
<walterbender> (1) she got the most votes in the last election (missing a
seat on the board by just one vote)
<walterbender> (2) she is very experienced with Sugar and our target
audience
<walterbender> (3) she brings academic and education experience to the mix
<walterbender> (4) she is a thoughtful, long-term contributor to the
community
<walterbender> (5) and she is a very respectful colleague

Her state of objects from the last election can be found at [2].

regards.
