Affiliations are listed for information only; a listing here does not itself indicate endorsement or support of the SEED network by the listed organizations. (Please see the partners page for a list of current SEED partner networks and organizations.)

In the future we will have some additional organizational structure besides the steering committee, for example Project Members — but we plan to continue to keep the organizational part of SEED light-weight and decentralized.
