<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The work around is that you express
interest and the chair of the relevant working group invites you.
We'd like the chair of each working group to be an OSMF member but
there is no hard and fast rule beyond that. It is basically up to
the chair. <br>
<br>
Certainly as License Working Group chair, I would welcome anyone
interested in problem solving in a collective atmosphere ...
either as long-term member or to work on some particular issue or
project that motivates you.<br>
<br>
I am also nominally Management Team chair. I would also personally
love to get folks involved without having to be attached to a
particular working group or taking on a long-term committment.
For example, and I hope I am not treading on his toes, Dermot
McNally is tasked with coming up with a workable system for
running our up-coming board election to STV for the first time. He
is looking at using OpaVote for the polling and may be OpenSTV for
validation. He may need help, drop him or me line.<br>
<br>
From my memory, (which can be suspect), Clifford, I think you may
be referring to the Future now aka Strategic Working Group? We
felt that to be a bit of an exception due to the nature of the
remit.<br>
