[robocup-worldwide] How to Form a RoboCup National Committee

[H. Levent Akin]

Dear RoboCuppers,


If you are from a country/region that does not already have a National
Committee (seehttp://www.robocup.org/organization-of-robocup/national-committees/),
and you are interested in forming a RoboCup National Committee, the
information about how to do so is given below.

Best Regards

Peter, Daniel, and Levent
On Behalf of Trustees

RoboCup National Committees

===========================

A RoboCup "National" Committee consists of representatives from any
nation or region with significant past and current RoboCup
participation.  The purposes of these committees are to

1) Promote RoboCup within your region

2) Organize local RoboCup events and RoboCup opens

3) Manage qualification for RoboCup leagues when slots are limited

4) Maintain RoboCup standards for scientific research and education within
your region and uphold the RoboCup mission of sharing advances through
friendly competition

5) Maintain an English website to be linked to the main RoboCup website
describing the RoboCup activities in your region.


These are local events smaller than regional "open" competitions, which
should also be run with RoboCup National Committee participation, but
must be approved by the trustees.


For each such local event and open, RoboCup National Committees may at
some time in the future be asked to collect a standard RoboCup
Federation registration fee from participants and send the resulting
funds to the Federation (details to be announced if/when this policy
goes into effect).

The RoboCup National Committee is also expected to send a report
following each event summarizing the participation and organization of
the event, including how many people and teams participated, from where,
etc. If there are many local events in a given year, they can be grouped
together into a single annual report.


Each RoboCup National Committee should have a single chair who serves as
the main point of contact with the RoboCup trustees for questions that
are relevant to the region. There should be representation on the
committee from all of the different RoboCup leagues in which your region
is active (including RoboCupJunior). If not already established, we
encourage the RoboCup National Committees to initiate formation of all
aspects of RoboCup activities, including RoboCupRescue, RoboCupJunior,
and RoboCupAtHome.


To form a RoboCup National Committee, please get together with all of
the participants from your region. Once the list of committee members is
prepared, please contact the RoboCup trustees to let us know:

1) The members and affiliations of the committee.

2) The names, affiliations, and email addresses of all the teams
represented by the committee (hopefully all the teams from your region).

3) The URL of your current webpage, if it already exists (see
http://www.robocup.org/organization-of-robocup/national-committees/ for
some examples) The Trustees will then check that all the represented teams
agree to be represented in this way, and then link the committee to the
RoboCup website.
