[License-review] OSI Governance Survey

[Nick Vidal]

Hi everyone,

We would like to invite the Open Source community to participate in the OSI
Governance Survey and help inform the future of OSI’s governance. The
survey is an opportunity for community members and stakeholders to share
their perspectives on how OSI’s Board of Directors should be selected and
seated.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit
organization. Its Board of Directors owes primary legal and fiduciary
duties to the organization and its mission to ensure strategic alignment,
financial integrity, and legal compliance in stewarding the Open Source
Definition (OSD) and educating/supporting/advocating for the ecosystem.

The OSI Board has created a Governance Working Group to evaluate how
directors are selected and seated. Following an elections pause in early
2026, this study will inform recommendations presented to the full board in
September 2026 to ensure an engaged, representative, and effective
governing body that works in partnership with the staff of OSI to fulfill
the mission and vision of OSI.

Your input is vital. Individual responses will remain confidential to the
working group unless specifically and explicitly requested to be shared,
and data will be analyzed across stakeholder categories.

Thanks,
Nick
