dear adrian,

thank you for sharing with all this quite interesting document.

just a comment and a clarification on the points you rised at the end of
your email.

such an approach was initially discussed with the ec who was absolutely
contrary as they see such approach fostering the creation of a "non open"
initiative.

this is why in the slides we all agreed, and circulated by me some time ago
(but here again attached for your convenience), at slide 17 and, more in
detail at slide 20, the memebership is set to be open to all who agreed
with the membership rules (this includes many things starting with the
mission and the code of conduct - public at www.fiware.org). besides, to be
a core member this requires a decison of the majority of core members for
new core members.

in this context, what we have to define, with your valuable help as we
sherpas are not so confident with legal aspects, is an algorithm/process
for assessing and accepting membership (ref. to "to be further specified"
of slide 20).

ciao,
stefano

> 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.
