Since we are currently limiting consortium access to US Persons, each participant will need to complete the following 3-Step Process to gain access to the SOSA Consortium member collaborative site ("Plato"), attend meetings and participate in the consortium, and get added to the appropriate rosters and email lists.
Step 1 - Submit Export Cert Form: Have the appropriate person in your organization (either your export certification authority, or your security officer who can certify that you are a US person) fill out, sign and submit the Export Cert Form per the instructions on the form. The form can be downloaded here: Export Form
This is the standard Export Certification Form for the SOSA Consortium, which has been used by industry, government and government contractors to establish the US-Person status of potential member participants. Feel free to list multiple participants on a single submitted form. You can submit as many forms as you need to over time to continue to onboard additional participants.

• Your Work Group preferences will determine which mail lists/rosters we add you to in addition to the general members' mail list.

You can also find a list of the Working Group Subcommittees here.
After the Open Group receives the above information, we will provide each participant with access to the SOSA Consortium US-Only member collaborative site (we refer to this as "Plato"), along with Work Group and SOSA incubation working group WebEx meeting instructions for the group(s) they designate.
