Mike, (01)
Ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum//uos-convene/2006-02/msg00054.html#nid02
and
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit#nidIOJ (02)
Our definition is: (03)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who would provide technical
or funding support (which all of you are already doing), and/or
endorsing the purpose of this Upper Ontology Summit effort..." (04)
Your technical contribution (and the in kind financial support by
paying for your trip) clearly puts Boeing up there. (05)
I don't think it will be misleading, especially if we properly
display that definition (which we already have). ... Would that do? (06)
