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.

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.

Subject: do you want to be listed on the Open Policy Network website?
To: open-policy-network@googlegroups.com


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

P.S. we wrote a bit more about the OPN and Institute for Open
Leadership on the CC site awhile ago -
