We’re establishing PAIRS as an ongoing project, current fiscally hosted by Connected by Data.

Governance is managed through a small stewardship group, and a broad open membership.

The Stewardship Group have responsibility for overseeing PAIRS budgets, activities and operation.

Members are consulted on all major decisions, and are encouraged to take an active role in event committees, or in other activities in support of PAIRS.
