And thank you Vicky for adding this topic to your upcoming board meeting. We would love to have OSGEO on as a Locus Charter Supporter! </div><div><div><br></div><div>The <a href="http://ethicalgeo.org/locus-charter" target="_blank">Locus Charter</a> is a set of international principles regarding the ethical and responsible use of location data, with the aims of improving standards of practice and ensuring the privacy and security of individuals and societies. At the moment, we have 16 organizations and companies around the world that have signed on to support the Charter. As a supporter, your organization would be committed to promoting and implementing the 10 Principles within your organization's efforts. However, this is not legally binding. Supporters are expected to join our quarterly meetings and help spread the Charter among their networks. We are also soliciting "use cases" from supporters who have been working to implement the Principles in real-time in order to better understand some of the issues and solutions faced when adhering to Charter Principles. I have attached the Charter and Engagement Letter for your review. </div><div><br></div><div>If you are interested, I would be happy to set up a 30 minute Zoom call with the Locus Charter co-author and AGS Chairman Dr. Chris Tucker to discuss more in depth what signing onto the Charter looks like. Please let me know if you have any other questions and if you'd like to set up a call. I look forward to hearing from you!</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely, </div><div>Nicole </div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#999999">--</font></div><div><font color="#999999">Nicole Oveisi</font></div><font color="#999999"><i>Special Projects and Initiatives Coordinator</i> </font><div><b><font color="#999999">American Geographical Society </font></b></div><div><font color="#999999">949-294-2326</font></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 11:50 AM Vicky Vergara <<a href="mailto:vicky@georepublic.de" target="_blank">vicky@georepublic.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hello all, <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Added this topic to the F2F meeting agenda</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2022-08-27#Current_items" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2022-08-27#Current_items</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Regards<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 5:23 AM Suchith Anand <<a href="mailto:Suchith.Anand@nottingham.ac.uk" target="_blank">Suchith.Anand@nottingham.ac.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
