What is the OSSI standard pledging process?

"How to Pledge
First, the breeder fills out, signs, and sends to OSSI the Variety Designation document that involves the Pledging itself. ("I _________________, as the breeder or co-breeder of the variety, populations, or plant materials listed below, hereby designate..."). Find our Variety Designation Agreement here: Open Source Seed Initiative Variety Designation agreement. You can also contact us with questions.
Second, the breeder provides the OSSI Variety Review Committee with information about the variety and how it was bred. One way to do this is to email one of the members of the Variety Review Committee listed below and tell us about the variety or materials you want to Pledge. (All Variety Review Committee members are OSSI Board members as well as fellow plant breeders.) If you prefer, you can instead provide this information by filling out the breeding information form ('Contribute a Variety'). The Variety Review Committee then evaluates the variety and determines whether it is appropriate to be accepted as an OSSI-Pledged variety. Feel free to contact a member of the Variety Review Committee if you have any questions.
