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 2016-03-17 16:10 GMT+01:00 <adrian.kalaani at orange.com>: > 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.
