+# EDRLab's members' website
+
+This EDRLab's members' online directory aims to help with mutual identification and collaboration. 
+
+Each organization has a dedicated page where they can showcase their activities and promote their services.
+
+## Member card

+* `title`: the name of the organization, displayed as a title
+* `member_url`: URL of the organization's website
+* `geographies`: countries where the organization acts. Two letter codes are expected, the global mentions "Worldwide", "Africa", "America", "Asia", "Europe" and "Oceania" are also accepted. *This value is not displayed, we may use it later*
