Dear Member of ILRS,

I would like to announce you that today, March 24, 2022, a new group has been established:

Union of Concerned Members (UCM)

an unofficial union of the ILRS members that will be discussing on the issues related to:

- the wartime crisis,
- transparency of ILRS decision-making processes,
- Intellectual Property Rights within ILRS.

What do we want?
- We want to protect freedom of information and unobstructed flow of information within ILRS.
- We want to make sure that the volunteers who govern ILRS provide their service with full respect to the ethical standards.

What do we do?
- We will be identifying issues of concern and discussing forms of action whenever needed.
- We will establish connections with the media outlets to ensure that our voice is heard.

What are the rules?
- To join UCM you should be an ILRS member, but you join as a private person and accept an unfiltered environment.
- General forum rules apply, your voice expresses your own, personal opinion.

Join UCM by replying to this email, or email me at ucm.ilrs@gmail.com
We are setting up a UCM Facebook group page at:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ucm.ilrs/

You are invited to join!

Respectfully,
Daniel Kucharski
Member of ILRS since 2005, co-chair of the ILRS Space Debris Study Group.
