Mike, (01)
Thanks for the message. (02)
What I had in mind, in my earlier message ref 'co-sponsors' (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/uos-convene/2006-02/msg00054.html)
was merely to get everyone here to allow us to list their
organizations as one of the Upper Ontology Summit's co-sponsors.
... allowing us to state something like: (03)
"This Upper Ontology Summit is co-sponsored by: (04)
* The Boeing Company
* The European Centre for Ontological Research (ECOR)
* International Business Machines Corporation (IBM)
* The (US) National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR)
* The Shell Group
* Stanford University
* ... etc." (05)
Your asked a good question ... what are we endorsing? ... I guess
we're still working on that. See the work-in-progress mission
statement at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit#nidINZ
Which you can see now, is where organizing committee has got it
to, as of the end of our conference call on 2/23. We'll probably
be able to tie that down by our next call (3/2 late afternoon.) (06)
Your message actually brings up another very interesting
possibility (maybe that was your intention in the first place.)
We could actually solicit endorsement statements from our
co-sponsors, like the one you cited below. Even a small
collection of them will be extremely useful, from a PR
standpoint, especially when they come from major organizations
that people have come to trust and respect. (07)
Let's continue to pursue this. (08)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
