 So, I'm going to be shifting this over to actually myself, I am going to be sharing with everyone the opportunities for new and existing members and just a little bit background on myself. My experience includes over 10 years of environmental sustainability experience and specializing in stakeholder agreement and engagement and clean energy transition. As this is really the area that we're moving towards, I have lived and worked in Sweden, Mexico, France, Japan, England, and the Caribbean and I hold a master's degree in environmental conflict resolution. So, if I could ask everyone to presenters in particular, just to mute yourself, I am going to be running a recording so that we actually we utilize this recording in other sessions. So, it's a good overview, a good snapshot. And then, of course, I'll be back for the Q and a session. So, from there, we'll roll it. Welcome to the Open Group Open Footprint Forum. My name is Heidi Carlson and I am the director of the Open Footprint Forum, or better known as OFP. This presentation is intended to provide a general overview of the opportunities for new and existing member organizations and individuals. We are glad that your organization has joined or that you are getting involved as a new representative of an existing member organization. If you are a non-member viewing this, you may find the material useful in understanding the various parts of the Open Footprint Forum. And if you have interest in membership, we invite you to learn more by visiting the membership section on our website or by sending us an email to memberservicesatopengroup.org. At the Open Group, we help our members to achieve their business objectives through technology standards and open source software projects. We are a global consortium with diverse memberships that spans all sectors of the technology and sustainability communities across multiple industries. The Open Group develops open vendor-neutral technology standards, certifications, and open source software projects. We take pride in being a truly global organization that enables our members to achieve their business objectives through the development of open vendor-neutral standards and certifications. Our 825-plus members span all sectors of the IT and sustainability communities, customers, systems and solutions suppliers, tool vendors, integrators, and consultants, as well as academics and researchers. The Open Group's membership model is for organizations to become members, which means that as many staff from your organization can participate as you like. We have several membership levels, including silver, which allows access into one forum, gold, which provides access into all of the regular forums of the Open Group, and platinum, which allows membership into all forums and also into board working groups as well and which provides a seat on our governing board. We also have an academic membership, which is open to research and teaching staff from accredited colleges and universities. A full list of organizations with entitlements in the Open Group forum can be found here. The total number of active organizations is 29, getting involved. Some of the member representative benefits can participate in directly in a forum. You can participate in a work group or a consortium, and there are a number of benefits you can receive through this participation. I'll highlight a few significant things. First, member representatives directly work on the development of standards and best practices. And second, as a result, they gain industry insights, build their network of experts, and bring valuable knowledge and experiences back to their organization. By actively participating in the Open footprint forum, your organization can influence the way standards are developing, accelerate platform design and development efforts by taking advantage of work that has already been proven, reduce the cost burden of designing and validating an environmental footprint data platform on your own, avoid being locked into proprietary solutions, and getting maximum value out of being a member. You can promote it to all areas of your company who may benefit to include such stakeholders as the business units, the technical side, the investor relations group, and of course sustainability. Participate actively to influence the standard and the direction of the forum. Align your products to the standards early. Promote your participation to your customers. And join the open group, open footprint forum LinkedIn group. Participation by an organization and individual representatives can include possibilities to lead standard efforts and forums, work groups, and consortia. These leadership opportunities can help with individual career development and advancement, and they can also help an organization to demonstrate thought leadership in a given area. For suppliers, a key benefit is the opportunity provided to align your products to the standards. And for buyers, a related benefit is the ability to shape the standard and certification so as to be able to procure certified products and hire certified people. The open group wins several work groups, which are vendor natural environments where members share knowledge, resources, and collaborate on developing open technology standards and certifications. Some of the work groups open to all members of the open group are featured here. In our government EA work group, the open group and international telecommunication union ITU are collaborating to develop digital government strategies. The ITU is the United Nations Agency for Information and Communication Technologies, ICTs, and takes an active role in promoting and addressing the sustainable development goals for SDGs through the use of ICTs. To ensure that the hard work of our members is not just acknowledged, but also noticed by the broader community, it is worth noting that as a result of participation, there are several ways in which contributions are recognized at the organizational and individual level. These include listing authors, contributors, and reviewers in the front matter of publications, as well as a warning of badges used in social media for contributions and for achievement of individual certifications. You can also engage in some of the social media channels found in obviously the open group channel on YouTube. You can follow and participate on Twitter and in LinkedIn as well as blog and library. There are several ways to get engaged. Here are a list of a few of the online resources you can download from the open group library, technical standards, reference architectures, frameworks, guides, tool, body of knowledge, and white paper. The open group events are for business and technology professionals interested in achieving business objectives through technology standards. The open group organizes conferences, member meeting, industry verticals, webinars, podcasts, and videos on a wide variety of topics. The theme for 2021 focuses on the open digital standards and we actually just had our event, which was dedicated to saving the environment for the open footprint data model. Each of our forums and consortia at most work groups have the support of these key open group staff roles. A forum director who manages the operation of the forum and a forum coordinator who assists the forum director in the many logistics that enable the work of the forum. Here you will find some useful links. We hope you have a great experience being a member of the open group open footprint forum. If you have any questions for me, you can reach out to Heidi Carlson at h.carlson at opengroup.org. And if you have an interest in membership, member services at opengroup.org. In a final takeaway, our operating model provides staff to perform various functions, including facilitation and consensus building, executing the standards process, editorial and publications, legal and marketing and outreach. While we have shared services in these areas available to all forums in the open group to really benefit from the membership, you have to be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do the work. Members are the subject matter experts in each of our forums, and the relevant content for standards and best practices comes from the members. These turn numerous opportunities for career development and leadership as an individual as well as benefits to your company from showing leadership in forums. So we encourage you to get involved. Thank you.
