Information regarding OASIS Dues

Dear Steering Committee,
I just wanted to follow up on the questions regarding membership fees that was
brought up earlier today on the call.  I have included the dues structure below which
shows the various categories and amounts based on the size of the organization.
You did mention you had some people who wished to join OASIS but did not
feel their organization would support the dues structure.   There is also an option
to join OASIS as an Associate member and the annual fee associated with that is $1,485.
It does not offer the same level of benefits as the higher priced categories but it
might allow some to join at this level.
Participation is limited to Committee work.
and they are not eligible to vote on
OASIS Standards or elections for the Board of Directors.
Their organization must sign the OASIS Membership   Agreement and are bound by OASIS policies.
I thought this might be helpful as you go forward trying to engage others in your technical work.
