Per the Memorandum of<br>Understanding signed between OGC and OSGEO, we can issue up to six one year<br>OGC Individual Memberships on a complimentary basis to OSGEO members. There<br>are only three conditions that need to be met here, and only one of them is<br>your responsibility.<br><br>1. OSGEO must approve the nomination of an OSGEO member to receive an OGC<br>Individual membership (Arnulf has essentially confirmed his support per his<br>email below)<br>2. There can be no more than six complementary Individual memberships<br>related to the OGC / OSGEO at any one time (I believe we have slots<br>available -- I'll confirm this today)<br>3. You meet the conditions of the OGC Individual membership as described on<br>our website.
