Proposal (Bob Sutor): It is proposed that we have two levels
of sponsorship for XML.org. #1 is called XML.org partner which
is for companies with revenues in excess of $250M US and their
contributions will be a minimum of $100K US. #2 is called
XML.org Affiliate which is for companies with revenues under
$250M US and their contributions will be a minimum of $25K
US. This amount is in addition to base OASIS membership dues.

special treatment beyond that agreement. Seconded by: Norbert
Mikula.
Unanimous vote.
AGENDA ITEM #3
IPR - Laura and Bob
Open source. What does it mean? A lot of it comes down to
patent rights. On the source code side, what are people actually
providing? If we're developing source code, what are we giving
to XML.org?
Source Code:
- Reference implementation
- Testing/interoperability function
OASIS position:
Source code should be open source.
Do we want to run this as an open source organization, or
do we want to find another organization to own (transfer the
problem)?
Affect on In-Kind Contribution
Evaluate approaches to regrep development (XML/EDI, Peter
Murray-Rust, Free Software Foundation, etc.) Do we want to
go to an open source development organization? Do we want
to go to a vendor (RFP) for development? All contributions
would be open source.
DTDs
If you put DTDs into the repository, they are considered public.
Copyright? If author does not wish it to be public, then DTD
should remain in a private repository (XML.org could link
to it).
