– Self-Forming Groups – groups which registered online participants can initiate (e.g. Uruguay) or other areas where no official ASME group
• Self-Forming Groups will not be able to use names that are being used by Official ASME Groups or another Self-Formed Group. (e.g. Section, Sub-section, Student Section)

Self-Forming Groups
• Any registered participant can initiate the process.
• Once it is set up, then the participant forming the Group can invite others to join.
• Guidelines for Self-Forming Groups:– Does not duplicate an already existing
Group (either Official or Self-Formed). – Is relevant to ASME’s mission.
