[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear FIWARE Chapter Active Contributor,

   You are receiving this mail because you were designated as active 
contributor to one of several FIWARE/Incubated GEs.

   You can check the current Census of FIWARE Chapter Active 
Contributors 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xlCLZ2CwtTG6l59S8d7E8gqXOcZqmLSRDdVSxjRTy2U/edit?usp=sharing> 
and check whether you have been properly registered.  If you find 
anything wrong, please don't hesitate to contact us at the FIWARE 
Foundation.

   People designated as Top Contributors are able to edit the provided 
file.  You probably know those who have been designated as Top 
Contributors of the FIWARE/Incubated GEs for which you have been 
endorsed as active contributor. You can also check what FIWARE Chapter 
your FIWARE/Incubated GE has been included in. This will determine what 
FIWARE Chapter(s) you are considered active contributor to.

   As FIWARE Chapter Active Contributor, you will be able to elect the 
new members of the FIWARE TSC that will replace the current one.   We 
count on you for this very important election process.

   In addition, you can also run for the election to become a member of 
the FIWARE TSC.  If you get elected, one condition you should comply 
with for taking the seat is that of becoming individual member of the 
FIWARE Foundation (note that individual membership is free).   Check how 
to join <https://www.fiware.org/join/> for further details.

   Categories and number of FIWARE TSC seats are defined as follows:

  * one seat per FIWARE Foundation Platinum Member: 5 in total
  * two seats per FIWARE Chapter (see chapters in census file) to be
    elected from Active Contributors to that chapter: 20 in total
  * up to 1/3 of the previous seats linked to "remarkable individuals"
    who are widely recognized by their overall technical contribution to
    FIWARE: 8 in total
  * maximum number of seats: 33

   FIWARE Chapter Active Contributors are the only ones who can apply 
for seats linked to FIWARE Chapters.  They are the only ones who can 
vote in the elections.  Any member of the FIWARE Community can apply for 
seats linked to remarkable individuals.

   More details about FIWARE TSC elections can be found in section V.4 
of the FIWARE Foundation bylaws <https://www.fiware.org/foundation/bylaws/>.
