Local Chapters/Application documents

From OpenStreetMap Foundation

This list is intended to both help the prospective Local Chapter and the OSMF to document the application better. We don’t expect you to have all the documents listed here or to be able to provide all information. If not available or applicable, simply indicate that and if a document is available please indicate where or enclose the document.

  • Form to fill out (below)
  • Bylaws
  • Incorporation/Association
  • Membership structure / Voting Rights
  • Not For Profit Registration (either formal or by stature)
  • Financial documents
  • Proof of local community consultation as evidence that you are the representatives of the OSM community in your geographic location - we hope that this is in an open channel e.g. OSMF mailing list and Community Forum
  • Other documentation that can support the application e.g. Board minutes, Annual General Meeting of members, logo (if any), etc
