WHEREAS,                                                                        
                                                                                
1. The "Transforming Knowledge Spaces: Open Technologies for Research           
   Collaboration and Research Communication" project (henceforth                
   referred to as "the project") at the Intellectual Property Research          
   Institute of Australia is seeking international partners to advise           
   and participate in the project.                                              
                                                                                
2. The project will include the development of Free Software as a               
   central part of research.                                                    
                                                                                
3. Partnership of SPI for this project allows an explicit avenue for            
   involvement of its members and also allows for the involvement of            
   SPI as an organization without commitment from members or from the           
   organization.                                                                
                                                                                
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED THAT,                                                     
                                                                                
1. Software in the Public Interest, Inc. will join the project in an            
   advisory and participatory role as an international partner.                 
                                                                                
2. Benjamin 'Mako' Hill will act as advisor to the project and gather           
   input from SPI, its members, projects and their members.
