OMF Committee Inquiry Form

Thank you for your interest in joining an Open Media Foundation Committee! It is important for us to ensure that the entire community is included in our decision-making process. 

Therefore, our policy is to invite all applicants to attend an upcoming meeting of their chosen committee. 

If they show consistent attendance for 2-3 months and state an interest in making a long-term commitment, the committee will vote on whether to invite them to join the committee for an official term of one year.
