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. Annual Dues (USD) Organization type / size Foundational  Sponsor Contributor Company employing more than 500 people 54,000 19,875 9,950 Company employing 100 - 500 people 51,850  17,275 9,225 Company employing 10 - 99 people 49,675 14,800 8,100 Company employing fewer than 10 employees 47,525 6,800 3,915 Academic Institution or Association 47,525 12,425 1,350 Nat'l government agency ( OECD member country ) 47,525 12,425 * Nat'l government agency (non- OECD country ) 47,525 12,425 1,350 Local government agency 47,525 12,425 1,350 * Contributor-level dues for national government agencies from  OECD member countries  are based on the number of employees and correspond to the dues categories for companies.
