Dear all,

As convened during the last FIWARE meeting, we ask you to please find attached the bylaws of "OW2 CONSORTIUM" that is a French association governed by the French law of 1st July 1901. You can find the bylaws and additional information regarding OWC2 on its official website : http://www.ow2.org/bin/view/Main/ . We point out that is an association with an activity similar to FIWARE's activity : the development of a code base open source software.

When reading the paragraphs of the bylaws relating the membership in the association and verifying OW2C website, you can notice that in order to participate to the association activity you must at first become a member of the association. The site provides an option of Online registration to become a member (Strategic or a Corporate Member). Thus, the governance of OW2 association is concentrated in the bylaws without needing a double governance (one for the association and another for the brand) as suggested for FIWARE during the last meeting.

In order to maintain the decisional power in the hands of the founding members of FIWARE (ie: Telefonica, Orange, Atos and Engineering) without risking its weakening by the entry of new members, we can suggest the following:


1-     Attribute powers for Founding Members and reduce those of other members.

2-     Submit the qualification of a new member as a Founding Member  to unanimous consent of the existing Founding Members.

Please don't hesitate if you have any comment or question.

Best regards,

[orange]
