<div> </div>
<div>the process is very easy and can be handled online in less than 5 minutes:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>0.) [Optional] Read through the commitment statement:</div>
<div>https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/&sa=D&ust=1540033113702000&usg=AFQjCNGt-Pw9hEt-WdqMQpnh0K6qLQZlKA </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.) Open the Sign On Enabling Fair Data URL:</div>
<div>http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2.) Enter your personal details (full name, e-mail address), </div>
<div> </div>
<div>3.) Respond to the next question (personal / organizational signing) "Organization" [everybpdy is of course welcome to sign the statement personally, too!]</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4.) Indicate what kind of an organization OSGeo is (IMHO we qualify as "Repository" (due to the software repositories of the OSGeo projects) and "Society/Community", not sure if we can claim to be a "Research data infrastructure" ?)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5.) State the name of our organisation</div>
<div> </div>
<div>6.) Click the checkboxes regarding authorisation to sign for OSGeo, the actual signing, and that the name OSGeo can be displayed in public. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm forwarding you a message by Shelley Stall (Enabling Fair project manager) about upcoming action, which are related to the next global RDA meeting. It would be great opportunity if OSGeo would be mentioned as a signatory in this context.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Peter</div>

<div>Hi,
<div> </div>
<div>Yes, I think this falls on my back, but I have been pretty busy. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>How do we do it? Do we need some presentido face to face signature or should I just sign it as president and share the scanned version? </div>
