• Polarsys governance
  • Clarification of memberships and charter:
    • Research labs are eligible for 5 000$ solution member fees due to specific classification in the Eclipse bylaws.
    • On the Polarsys side, it has been decided to follow the Eclipse position and ask for the same class of fees. So Research labs are in the <10M$ category (10 000$ for participating members and 25 000$ for strategic members).
    • P. Arberet and J Delange raise the issue of membership for CNES and ESA like entities. Basically, they do not want to pay a fee because they think their providers should do it themselves. Participating may mean a multiplicated fee: one direct and others re-invoiced by the providers. The proposal from Polarsys is to consider CNES and ESA as Research Institute, so that to apply the fee of <10M$ category.
  • Discussion about appointement of Chairman and SpokePerson
    • Chairman and spokesperson: the chairman needs to be a strategic eclipse member up to now. It means that only somebody from Obeo or Itemis should be the chairman. The spokesperson can be anybody.
  • Review of the Charter
