[od-discuss] broader community notice in license approval/OD update process (was Re: Nominate Aaron Wolf for Open Definition Advisory Council membership)

Tue Dec 9 05:57:45 UTC 2014

Hi Mike,

I think those lists are closed ones (to keep traffic to a level that means
the lists are actually used) - one of the community managers (CCd) will be
able to help.

On a related note, we might want to add the chair of this group to the
working group coordinators list, as other matters that come up there may be
relevant...
