THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

3. Rocket (RWF2) is formally invited to become an SPI Associated Project,

4. Sergio Benitez is recognised by SPI as the authoritative decision maker
and SPI liaison for Rocket (RWF2). Successors will be appointed by the
RWF2 board (https://github.com/orgs/rwf2/people) via direcy majority of
present vote.

5. If the last known SPI liaison for Rocket (RWF2) is unreachable and no new
SPI liaison is appointed for two consecutive years, the
associated project is deemed defunct.

6. In such a circumstance, the SPI Board will, in its good-faith
discretion, proceed as follows: the Board will identify one or
more other SPI associated projects or 501(c)(3) charities which
can accept the project's assets and use them for a similar
purpose, and transfer the assets to the identified destination or
destinations as feasible. Assets for which no such transfer can
be arranged within a reasonable time will become part of the SPI
general fund.

7. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is
approved by the SPI Board.
