Description
Move this sentence to the beginning of the Members section: "Any formally constituted organization representing at least TBD modeling scientists may request to join the Open Modeling Foundation."
The Open Modeling Foundation Members Council represents formally constituted (having some form of governance document) organizations composed of or representing an active community of modelers in the social and natural sciences. Examples of such organizations include scientific networks, professional societies, research institutes, national laboratories, other government agencies, research centers or laboratories recognized by academic institutions, or commercial enterprises. Any such organization can be nominated for membership in the OMF or self-nominate. Any organization seeking membership in the OMF MC, must agree to support the mission and goals of the network, as described in this charter, to promote OMF approved standards, and to provide professional recognition to researchers engaged in standards-based modeling. Nominations for membership will be evaluated by the Executive Committee and presented to the Membership Council for approval by a majority of the Council.
