  2. prospective member fills out the member registration form provided in the member registration issue template. This template is managed at .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES/register-member.md
  3. prospective member submits the issue
  4. OTN editor self-assigns the issue to indicate to others the they are working on it.
  5. OTN editor reviews the registration request, asking for information if needed via issue.
  6. on approval, OTN editor creates a new member file, and commits/pushes the changes to the OTN registry repository.
  7. OTN editor verifies that the new addition is available via https://opentraits.org
  8. OTN editor notifies new member via issue comment and includes a link to the newly added OTN member profile.
  9. OTN editor closes issue
