<div>Hi María, hi Board,</div>
<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><a href="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" target="_blank">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</a> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.) Open the Sign On Enabling Fair Data URL:</div>
<div><a href="http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/" target="_blank">http://www.copdess.org/enabling-fair-data-project/commitment-to-enabling-fair-data-in-the-earth-space-and-environmental-sciences/</a></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>

<p style="MARGIN: 0.0in 0.0in 0.0pt;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;"><span style="COLOR: black;">We are less than two weeks away from our public announcement and corresponding communications push around our Enabling FAIR Data Commitment Statement.

These are the same FAQ that were recently sent around for your review. Since then we’ve integrated all of the feedback (thank you!), and selected the questions for posting that represented our common community understandings. Questions that did not have clarity or consensus were held back from the online posting for later discussion.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0.0in 0.0in 0.0pt;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;"><span style="COLOR: black;">With the goal of best supporting culture change across the Earth and Space Science communities, we would like the FAQ to be useful as a broad resource. This will help different organizations align information so researchers especially get the same message from all of us. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0.0in 0.0in 0.0pt;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;"><span style="COLOR: black;">To help us best achieve this goal, <b>please respond to this email with one of the following answers</b>:</span></span></p>

<li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.0pt;MARGIN-TOP: 0.0in;"><span style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline;"><span style="COLOR: black;"><span><span><span><span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;">YES! We are ready to link to the FAQ from our website to provide this reference to our community! Add us to the review group for new updates.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

<li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.0pt;MARGIN-TOP: 0.0in;"><span style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline;"><span style="COLOR: black;"><span><span><span><span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;">Not at this time.

<li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.0pt;MARGIN-TOP: 0.0in;"><span style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline;"><span style="COLOR: black;"><span><span><span><span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;">None of the above.

<li style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.0pt;MARGIN-TOP: 0.0in;"><span style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline;"><span style="COLOR: black;"><span><span><span><span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;">We are interested in giving feedback only, add us to the review group for new updates.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

<p> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0.0in 0.0in 0.0pt;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;"><span style="COLOR: black;">Once the FAQ content is ready to go, we will remove the text about being “in review” at the top, assign the first version number, and register this version with a DOI. Going forward, any changes will be reviewed by this same group. The updated content would get a new version number and new DOI (Zenodo gives a new DOI for a new version).</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0.0in 0.0in 0.0pt;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial , sans-serif;"><span style="COLOR: black;">Please let us know your response by October 24th. If you need more time, let us know. </span></span></p>

<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>
