Scott:
I’ll also raise this question at the ECF TC conference
call we have scheduled next Tuesday. What would be the cost of membership
for this type of organization?

Greetings
LegalXMLers,
You
might want to consider the funding request below. While OASIS
doesn’t have the capacity to waive the fee for membership (in part
because we defer a large discretionary portion of the dues to your decision
making) your Steering Committee may have that capacity and desire (for the same
reason)
If
you agree this is worthwhile, I’ll formally introduce them to you and
initiate the paperwork process with them.
Scott…

Subject: Non-profit membership
I work for
the Legal Services Corporation. We are the federal non-profit charged with
overseeing the legal aid providers across the country. I work with our programs
on technology efforts. As part of my work, I have been working with the courts
on their e-filing initiatives to be sure our client population is not excluded
from the systems being developed. To do this, it would be helpful if I could
join the Electronic Court Filing Technical Committee. To do this, I need to be
a member of OASIS.
As a
non-profit, we do not have money in the budget to join OASIS. Our funding is
fixed by Congress each year. Does OASIS ever give scholarship memberships to
organizations such as ours? Or for individual members?
To learn
more about LSC you can go to www.lsc.gov and
to learn more about my specific technology division, www.tig.lsc.gov.
Thank you
for your consideration of my request.
