 I'd like to move forward on the topic of partner NGOs and the Document
 Foundation. We have so far two wiki pages, one which is rather broader
 than the topic:
 http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/TDF/**PartnershipProgramhttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/PartnershipProgram

 and this one, which I just added to:

 http://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/**Partnering_with_NGOshttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Partnering_with_NGOs


 it seems response has been exactly zero. :-(

 Did you get any feedback from the NGOs? Does it make sense to ping the
 NGOs affected again directly, to get their first round of feedback, and
 then discuss with the BoD?

As soon as TDF is formally incorporated, I would love to see it apply to become 
an Affiliate of OSI[1].

that might indeed make sense. Thanks for raising! Let's put it onto a 
call agenda next week or so.

Indeed, I think it'd be great to join the OSI. But I would also like to
give the NGOs who work with us as a community some acknowledgement, and
I think we should move forward on this.

Best,
