Recently the membership at large voted on whether the Foundation could offer a modified membership agreement o government agencies who were
legally prohibited from signing our standard agreement because it stipulates the state of New York as the governing law.
We are please to announce that the motion was carried, with 96% voting in favor of the motion.<br><br>
We will now proceed with engaging with these government agencies, and look forward to their contributions to our community. Thanks
to everyone who took the time to vote; your participation is appreciated.
