<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
In practice, a formal representative from OSGeo would participate
in the working group sessions and discussions.<br>
<br>
The links I provided provide a short summary of membership rights
and privileges. The <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202011_08_15%20Final.pdf">Eclipse
Foundation bylaws</a> (PDF) and <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/org/industry-workgroups/locationtech_charter.php">LocationTech
charter</a> are the canonical pages with much detail.<br>
<br>
Any individual designated by OSGeo can be the representative. The
representative can be changed as needed. What you wrote sounds
like any number of people and that's not right.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>

Can you please expand on what such membership would mean in
practice. Is there a web page explaining what such membership
entails?
<br>
<br>
Does this membership provide an avenue for any individual to
participate in Locationtech by noting they are part of OSGeo (as
OSGeo accepts anyone offering to help OSGeo)?

That's right regarding formal representation for OSGeo at
LocationTech.
<br>
<br>
And confirmed re: OSGeo wouldn't be a Steering Committee member
for $0.
<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, OSGeo could be a Steering Committee member
for $15K/year at any point.

Thanks - I have added this to our agenda for the next board
meeting at:

I gather to make this useful we would want to have one or more
<br>
OSGeo representatives to join various LocationTech mailing
lists
<br>
to participate in discussions and act as a liason? I gather
we would
<br>
be general members of the locationtech working group, but not
<br>
voting members of the steering committee, right?
<br>
<br>
Best regards,

Frank

On behalf of the LocationTech Steering Committee, I would
like to formally
<br>
invite OSGeo to participate in LocationTech. LocationTech's
Steering
<br>
Committee unanimously agreed to invite OSGeo to participate
without
<br>
membership dues. To do so, OSGeo would sign up as an
Associate member of the
<br>
Eclipse Foundation ($0 for OSGeo) and Participating member
of LocationTech
<br>
(also $0 due to the invitation).
<br>
<br>
OSGeo's involvement in this working group:
<br>
<br>
helps influence the working group's direction
<br>
provides a useful forum for OSGeo to engage companies
<br>
maintains close ties to help identify opportunities of
mutual benefit &
<br>
collaboration
<br>

Best regards,
