title: Become a member
---
[data.coop]({{< ref "/" >}}) is a cooperative established as a democratic association.
The members decide on the association's operations and how data should be governed.
2023-07-23 23:43:35 +00:00
Governance resembles any classic association: We have legal statutes and formal general assemblies.
You need to read our [statutes]({{< relref "/rights.md" >}}) and our
[Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP)](https://git.data.coop/data.coop/dokumenter/src/branch/main/Acceptable%20Usage%20Policy.md)
before becoming a member.
If you have questions, you can find us on [Matrix or IRC]({{< ref "/about.md" >}}) or [send an email to the board](mailto:board@data.coop).
*English speakers:* We would love to have you as a member.
Many parts of this organization are already in English,
but our legal documents are not (yet).
Please write us if you have any questions.
## Price
Our membership period runs from one general assembly to the next => July 1st until June 30th.
