Hi, I am part of a bi-annual check-in call with the Cireha/Cboard team next week. Is there any information I can get from the Cboard team to help move this nomination forward? Let me know if I be an interface to the Cboard team for this one.

Thanks @jwflory for stepping in. We would like to get more clarity on the following indicators below:

• Clear Ownership. Ownership of everything the project produces must be clearly defined and documented. For example, through copyright, trademark, or other publicly available information. Could you please link to the relevant copyright, trademarks, or ownership documentation of the project?
• Adherence to Privacy and Applicable Laws. The project must state to the best of its knowledge that it complies with relevant privacy laws, and all applicable international and domestic laws. Could you please list some of relevant laws that the project complies with? If available, kindly also share any links to the privacy policy or terms of service.
• Deployment countries. What countries is this project actively deployed in (Please list the countries)?

Thanks @martinbedouret for the swift turnaround, would you be able to share a link to where the ownership of Cboard by OTTAA project is documented.

This raises a good point! We have email correspondence between OTTAA and Cboard about their collaboration, and it has also been shared to the Cboard community in their project meetings, but I don't think this has been announced publicly on the Cboard blog or the OTTAA Project blog. I think this would be a good opportunity for the OTTAA and Cboard teams to put out a blog post or press release to document their collaboration.

Some unofficial notes on this collaboration:

• @UNICEFinnovate Twitter: "And in true collaborative spirit, our Portfolio companies @cboard-org+@OTTAA-Project and qAira+@RentadroneCL have been working together on business solutions and on scaling market share and impact."
• Meet OTTAA Project, tech for speech impairment: "Partnered with Cboard to join forces and amplify our impact!"

@nathanbaleeta, do you have some examples you could share for @martinbedouret and @hectoritr about the general ownership of the repositories, as it pertains to trademark and copyright?

@martinbedouret Please checkout Bisa Health which is owned by Bisa Technologies:
https://github.com/BisaMhealth/BisaApp/blob/backend/LICENSE

Same for DHIS2:

Seems straightforward. What if we added a note in the README, per the GPLv3's guidance on how to apply the license to the project? Would this fulfill the requirement?
