This pages outlines the process for submitting a license so that it can be checked for conformance against the [Open Definition](/od), and hence listed on the [Conformant Licenses page](/licenses) in the appropriate category (see license categories below).

The [Advisory Council](/advisory-council) will make the final decision on whether or not a license conforms to the Open Definition and in which category to place the license. This decision will typically follow the consensus reached via discussion on the mailing list.

##Submitting The License
Submit the license to the Open Definition [forum](/contact) for discussion. **For a new license, this should occur before the license is finalized, so that you can revise based on the group's feedback.** While engagement by license's steward/creator is ideal, anyone may submit a license.

To do this:

* Sign up to the mailing list, so that you can participate in the discussion.
* Send **all of the following information** to the list:
* Sign up to the forum, so that you can participate in the discussion.
* Send **all of the following information** to the forum:
1. Link to the **full text the license**. If the license is not in English, also provide a translation to English (an autotranslation is adequate).
2. State the rationale for the new license.
3. Explain whether the license may be used by any licensor, or is specific to an organization/place/jurisdiction. We generally frown on the latter (see proliferation below), only making politically expedient exceptions (eg, the organization is a national government; and these are categorized as "non-reusable").

There is also membership of the [Advisory Council](/advisory-council) which is the group which ultimately determines the content of the Definitions and conformance with their principles. New members of the Council can be appointed at any time by agreement of the existing members of the Advisory Council (this requires consensus: namely at least one supporter and no objectors).

If you are interested in becoming an Advisory Council member we recommend joining the public list and contributing there first. This is a chance for other members of the community to get to know you and for you to establish your knowledge and competency. You can then request membership of the Council.

You or a nominating Council member should provide your brief bio at this time. All existing Council members will be queried for support or objection, and after two weeks there is at least one supporter and no objectors, per above, you will be warmly welcomed to the council.
