Dear Colleagues,
I had previously sent out the invitation below for endorsements to our Summit communiqué, but had not specifically brought this up on the summit or summit-org lists. So here is a last-minute reminder, if you’d like to be included on the endorsement list. Many of you have already responded, in which case please just delete this message.
Best regards,
Steven R. Ray

Subject: Invitation to endorse the Ontology Summit 2009 Communiqué - One week only.
Dear Colleagues,
The Ontology Summit 2009, “Toward Ontology-based Standards,” was held this week at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with representation from major standards development organizations, industry, government, and academia. As is traditional at these summits, a summit resolution and endorsement statement was released in the form of a communiqué, and can be reviewed at http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009_Communique .
This email is to invite you, as an interested practitioner, to be listed as an endorser of the communiqué, which we hope will accelerate the incorporation of ontology practices in current and future standards, yielding the benefits identified in the communiqué. If you would like to be associated with this movement, please send an email to Peter Yim ( peter.yim@xxxxxxxx ) and me ( steve@xxxxxxxxxxx ), and we will ensure your name is listed as an endorser, or you can simply click here . Note that the site carries a disclaimer that your endorsement is made as an individual and not as a representative of your organization.
We will be closing this invitation at the end of Friday, April 17 th , so please respond soon.
Best regards, and thanks for your support.
Steven R. Ray
