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

Sat Jan 17 01:32:27 UTC 2015

Hi Laura,

As Chairperson, I would like to notify the relevant lists that we've
started a new draft 2.1 of the definition, but it is not clear to me who to
send it to other than od-discuss at lists.okfn.org.

Should I also send it to local at okfn.org?

Please advise.

Thanks,
Herb
