[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: [OSGeo-Announce] OSGeo UN Committee Educational Challenge

[Andy Anderson]

Hi, Christian,

The "charter" of OSGeo is its certificate of incorporation:

https://www.osgeo.org/wp-content/uploads/osgeo_certificate.pdf

There is not actually much detail, it's minimal boilerplate for establishing a nonprofit corporation. There is much more information in its bylaws, including its "Purposes":

Dear Markus,

thanks, I know that there is a list of Charter Members, I also know about the election process. My question was about "what is the OSGeo Charter". E.g. a document, or something intangible, I do not know? My point is, if this suddenly becomes a criteria for an evaluation, this needs to be well defined.

Best,
Christian

Also, I never saw / read the OSGeo Charter, and I am also not able to find it via google, may you help me with a link here?

That's unfortunately an open issue:
