Suchith, I agree with Marc's points.
I notice a similar discussion on the OSGeo Board thread about joining GEO.
I think there is little value in setting up "trophy" MOUs or becoming
members of communities unless we have specific community members who are
actively wanting to get involved. So
Congrats to Barend also from our side!
