List of provisional Members and Observers

CONTEXT

On October 28, the non-statutory Board decided on provisional acceptance of new

Members and Observers to be ratified during the First (constitutional) General

Assembly.

Part of the decision was to provisionally accept three (3) members and three (3)

observers subject to certain conditions, which were duly communicated to the

interested organisations. The decision also established November 20 as a deadline

for meeting these conditions, as well as for countries to nominate their mandated

organisations.

This document is structured as follows:

a. Update on the organizations that were granted the status of “provisional

Members subject to conditions”

b. Update on the organizations based in the UK that were granted the status of

“provisional Observers subject to their acceptance to this status change”

c. Final list of provisional members, updated according to point (a) above

d. Final list of provisional observers, updated according to point (b) above

e. Final list of provisional members nominated as mandated organisations

f. General statistics: (i) number of organisations by type of membership (full

members, including those designated as mandated organizations, and

observers); and (ii) by main category.

g. Correction of a material error

a. Update on the organizations that were granted the status of “provisional

Members subject to conditions”

Three (3) organizations were granted the status of provisional Members subject to

the condition that they sent an unconditional and formal letter of interest aligned with

the requirements listed in the Statutes and signed by their legal representative no

later than 23:59 local Brussels time on 20 November 2020. If this was not received,

then they would not be considered for admission during the first (constitutional)

General Assembly.

All three of them, European Molecular Biology Laboratory – EMBL (international

organization based in Germany), National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food

and Environment – INRAE (France) and Entidad pública empresarial Red.es (Spain)

have sent them in due time and therefore have become “provisional Members”.

b. Update on the organizations based in the UK that were granted the

status of “provisional Observers subject to their acceptance to this

status change”

Three (3) organizations based in the UK, which had applied to become members,

were granted the status of provisional Observers, subject to their acceptance of this

status change no later than 23:59 local Brussels time on 20 November 2020. If this

was not received, then they would not be considered for admission during the first

(constitutional) General Assembly.

All three of them, Digital Science & Research Solutions Ltd. (DSRSL), Instruct

Integrated Structural Biology Infrastructure in Europe (Instruct-ERIC) and Jisc LBG

(Jisc) have accepted this status change in due time and therefore have become

“provisional Observers”.

c. Final list of provisional members, updated according to point (a) above

g. Correction of a material error

Once the Board' decision of 28 October was communicated to the provisional

members and observers, one of them, French research institute for the sustainable

development (IRD), noted that there was a divergence between the letter of interest

they had sent and the option they had marked in the web application. They

recognized an error when entering the data and requested that the letter of interest

be accepted as the only valid and that the status be changed to Observer. The lists

in points (c) and (d) above show this modification.
