Hi Scott,
We discussed this yesterday at the SC meeting and approved this. However, the committee felt that it would be helpful if OASIS could provide some guidelines
as to the conditions for funding memberships for organizations. On the Legal Informatics Google group, there has been some criticism about standards organizations requiring dues for participation and I would not want anyone to question whether the Steering
Committee fell afoul of some rules or ethical practices by funding one group and not another.
Thanks for your guidance,
Laurel Shifrin

The member RuleML.org has asked to continue their membership without making a dues contribution. OASIS enables these special considerations as a budget decision of the Member Section, empowering the Steering Committee to evaluate the expense
as compared to the benefit of their participation to your work.
Please undertake a vote in the next SC meeting to consider the $1210 expense as part of your 2014 Spending.
Thanks,
Scott...

Dear Adrian,
The time to renew your OASIS membership is approaching. We trust that you
have found benefit in advancing open standards as a Contributor member of
the consortium. During the past year RuleML, Inc. has been represented by
four users in the work of the OASIS LegalRuleML Technical Committee and
supports the LegalXML Member Section.
As you know, our membership dues have increased this year. The attached PDF
of our invoice 20135173-IN will extend your OASIS membership from 9 January
2014 to 9 January 2015. If you require a hard copy of the invoice sent via
Federal Express, please let me know.
We appreciate your contributions to OASIS and look forward to your continued
participation. If you require any additional information to complete payment
for this invoice-or if you are unable to renew for any reason--please
contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
Regards,
Barb
