<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>If you look into our by-laws you will find there is a clause for partners to send members to our Working Groups and Working Group Councils.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>That would be in the category of Associate Partner Members (normal working group participation) or Official partner members (for the Councils).<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif">A partner member (official in WG Council) is represented by one individual at a time from the partner (per working group)<u></u><u></u></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>These partners would be able to partipate as “Members in Good Standing” without paying individual member fee.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>For those who want to start participating now they can follow this link to our main communication channel (a Discord server for Open AR Cloud)<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>If they want to participate as representatives of OSGeo so that they don’t have to pay the fee they may notify me by mail or on Discord.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>On that channel we have a full name policy so that we can work together transparently. If people have a discord account they want to keep anonymous we propose they create a new account with full
name for use at the Open AR Cloud discord server.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>We also have a Github repo where we hope to publish open source project we might develop. But we are also eager to get collaboration going in this regard with OSGeo wich would probably be a better
long term custodian of open source projects originating in the Open AR Cloud Association.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

We do have OGC , Norkart and the Norwegian Mapping Authority as founding partners alongside a total of 35 founding partners. We also have 5 new organizations who are in the process of becoming up normal paying partners. Again: OSGeo wouldn’t need to pay for
partnership with Open AR Cloud as I am happy to regard you as one of the Founding Partners.
