Hi Luis: Yes i'm on the list. And your suggestion to have chapters and the hq office figure out separately whether they want to join seems fine. tvol

Is Tim on this list? If not, someone should invite him :) [+Tim on CC]
With regards to joining: maybe in the short term it makes sense for chapters and WMF to each evaluate joining the OPN individually, keeping FCAKGEU as an informal group? I think the current informal structure has served FCAKGEU pretty well: it gives us flexibility as to who joins what actions and makes it easy to enable/empower new participants. I suspect in the long term we'll want to create something more formal (and with a better name) for signing onto EU-wide actions, but we probably shouldn't rush into creating a new organization just to join a group that is itself likely quite flexible about membership and who we know quite well.

Hi all:
We're almost ready to launch the Open Policy Network website. Sorry for the delay!
Here's a draft: http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/ (will eventually be openpolicynetwork.org).
We need interested orgs to indicate whether they'd like to be listed as members on the website. If you are we will include a logo on this page
http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/about/#members
Please let me know if you want your org listed and where to get a .png/.jpg logo.
Thanks! timothy
