Yes, @Moedn, I think this qualifies. However I think it is a bit short. We should wipe off the table potential criticism against OSEG "owning" DIN SPEC 3105 and "ruling" the OSH community.

"OSE Germany initiated and led the creation of DIN SPEC 3105. However, DIN SPEC 3105 is neither owned by OSEG nor it is the result of sole OSEG's work. OSEG took over coordination with DIN and moderated the writing process involving a lot of people from the field of open source hardware (see question "Who wrote DIN SPEC 3105?") who are not affiliated in any way to OSE Germany. In that sense OSE Germany is one of the many members of the DIN SPEC 3105 working group.

OSE Germany also leads the creation of the first assessment body implementing the peer-assessment process defined in DIN SPEC 3105. This is the result of OSE Germany's willingness to push forward pratices in open source hardware. OSE Germany has no exclusive right to create such an assessment body.

OSE Germany welcomes anyone to participate in the furter development of DIN SPEC 3105 and their related projects."
