OSM apraksts par local chapters.

OSM ir daži noteikumi, kas jāapmierina:

Local chapters must:

• have bylaws that describe their mission as supporting OpenStreetMap or open geodata in general similar to the OSMF.

Pētera komentārs: būs jāpapildina vai jākonkretizē LAKA statūti, bet nekas lielas.

• be an officially incorporated legal entity in their country. (Otherwise there would be nobody to sign an agreement with. If you don't have a legal entity you can still be part of OSM in general or a member of OSMF, but you can't form a local chapter.)

Pētera komentārs: ir

• be democratically organised, i.e. they must be membership organisations where members have voting rights. (The details on how this would be done are dependent on local laws etc.)

Pētera komentārs: ir

• be non-profit. (In some countries it is easy to get formal non-profit status, in others its rather difficult and/or can take some time to achieve. So its not required that an organisation must be formally non-profit according to the laws of their country, but it must be clear from the bylaws.)
  

p.s. vajadzētu zinoša cilvēka komentāru

• name a representative as primary contact point with OSMF.

p.s. noorganizēsim

Local chapters should

• have at least 20 members. (This is to ensure some form of stability. Some countries also have rules on the minimum number of members for a membership organisation. Its not an absolute rule to allow for exceptions, local chapter Antarctica anyone?)
