Miscellany:
• Candidates to act as National Reference/Contact Points expected to act as glue-agents able to connect, in a network of peers, all relevant stakeholder of SCL of a Region are encouraged. In particular NR/CPs are expected to:
a) foster the establishing of national networks to include industries, municipalities, learning organizations, etc. ... and of course to encourage SCLO memberships of the most prominent entities (soon additional SCLO descriptive materials will be made available to everybody);
b) report on local best practices and relevant resources (that may help to compile the 'SCL white pages') and, possibly, to get in contact with national observatories on smart cities and, when appropriate, with other relevant actors like, for example, the National Statistics Institutes.
• Memberships of Institutions of countries not already represented in the SCLO are strongly encouraged (see members list)
