FUSION Community Partners Program Update

Dear Community members,

We’d like to update you and to issue some clarification with regards to the Community Partners Program.

The FUSION Community Partners Program has received an unprecedented response from you since it opened at GMT 12:00 on January 25th. A great many people have registered. In order to develop the FUSION project in the best possible way the Foundation has decided the following.

First, it has been decided that a whitelist of crowdsale participants is not required. The Community Partners Program is not a whitelist, as some of you have asked. More importantly, all interested people (excluding US and china based) can participate in the FUSION crowdsale — Directly or indirectly: People who are interested in directly joining the crowdsale can participate in the Voluntary Participants Sale Program starting at Feb 1st, 2018 12:00GMT. Their contact details will not be requested ahead of the sale. But — Also, all people interested in helping develop the FUSION community can sign up to the “Community Partner Program”. The Foundation will ask for their contact details and invite them to join community activities in the future.

The Community Partner Registration will continue in an orderly manner until Jan. 28th. But apparently many people mistakenly registered thinking it was a whitelist, and also a number of registration requests contained invalid addresses which now require filtering and review. It also appears that scripts, bots and other tools were used in some cases, leading to duplicate/erroneous information, requiring a lot of filtering. We need to make sure that we respond only to valid requests and this will take some more days — Please be patient.

At a much later stage we will formally welcome registrants to join Community Partners Program and discuss the activities involved.

Thank you all for your great support!
