2. We want to express, as a similar case to the OSGeo Oceania and related to a possible application of the OSM Spain, which we are actively in contact, that:

"While Associació Catalana de l'OpenStreetMap is currently the recognized local chapter in the Catalan region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form related to the region with the intent of becoming a local chapter. If this were to occur, our association would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented."
