OGC Membership

OGC and OSGeo have an agreement by which up to 5 OSGeo community members can become individual OGC members. This page describes OSGeo's processes and procedures for the agreement.

The actual agreement is documented on the page: OSGeo signs Memorandum of Understanding with OGC. This page describes the slection process on OSGeop side and lists current members.

Membership Process

To obtain a membership, you must:

1. Determine if you are eligible for membership, based on the OGC Individual Membership rules.
2. Submit a short summary of why you want an OGC membership and what work you plan to do with it. This summary should be sent to the selection committee (listed below).
3. Every three months, send a summary of what you have done with your membership to the selection committee and the standards list.

Memberships are valid for six months, after which you may reapply.

Selection Committee

The selection committee keeps track of who is using our OGC memberships and what they are doing with them. The committee is appointed by the board of directors and periodically reports back to the board on the status of our OGC activity.

The members of this committee are currently:

• Arnulf Christl
• Michael P. Gerlek

The committee operates transparently, recording its action on the standards mailing list.
