To say that Boeing is co-sponsoring this event seems misleading, in that
Boeing is not providing any funds, other than paying for my trip. (01)
More accurate to say we 'participated' or 'supported' the event. (02)

Mike, (05)
Thanks for the message. (06)
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: (07)
"This Upper Ontology Summit is co-sponsored by: (08)
* 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." (09)
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.) (010)
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. (011)
Let's continue to pursue this. (012)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
