[od-discuss] A Chair for the Open Definition Advisory Council

Fri Nov 2 15:28:54 UTC 2012

@Luis: I'm not sure it is that long since we had a meeting: we have
had at least 2 AC meetings this year where we reviewed licenses for
conformance with the last being in September:

That said reviewing the AC list would be a very good idea so +1.
