May I suggest a much simpler definition: (01)
Replace:
"'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." (02)
With: (03)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who that provide technical or
funding support." (04)

Peter,
Even though we're also listed as co-organizers, why don't you go
ahead and list NIST as a co-sponsor as well. It may turn out to be a
who's who list, and I'd hate to be absent! (06)

All, (08)
Further to our uos-conveners telephone conversation today, we agreed
that this 'co-sponsorship' exercise needs everyone to opt-in before we
will be moving them from the "candidate" to the "confirmed" list. (09)
We also committed to state clearly how we define 'co-sponsors'
whenever we cite that list. Therefore, let me re-state the definition
again,
here: (010)
"'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." (011)
Ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit#nidIOJ (012)
So far, I have the following on the "confirmed" list: (013)
# the Applied Ontology journal (KLW)
# Aritculate Software (AdamPease) (KDL)
# Boeing (MichaelUschold) (KDO)
# EPISTLE (European Process Industries STEP Technical Liaison
Executive) (KLS)
# CIM3 (PeterYim) (KIX)
# ECOR - European Centre for Ontological Research (NicolaGuarino)
(KDH)
# IEEE Standard Upper Ontology Working Group -
http://suo.ieee.org (JimSchoening) (KDZ)
# NCOR - (US) National Center for Ontological Research
(BarrySmith & MarkMusen) (IOY)
# Shell (MatthewWest) (KDM)
# University of Maryland College of Information Studies
(DagobertSoergel) (KDS) (014)
and I still have the following organizations on the "candidate" list: (015)
# MITRE (LeoObrst) (KDI)
# CNR Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies / Laboratory of
Applied Ontology (Trento & Rome) (NicolaGuarino &
AldoGangemi) (KDJ)
# Cycorp (DougLenat) (KDK)
# IBM (ChrisWelty) (KDN)
# ISO 18629 Working Group (MichaelGruninger) (KE1)
# Ontology Works (BillAndersen) (KDP)
# University of Bremen (JohnBateman) (KDQ)
# University of Toronto (MichaelGruninger) (KDR)
# Texas A&M University (ChrisMenzel) (KDT)
# University at Buffalo (BarrySmith) (KDU)
# Stanford University (MarkMusen) (KDV)
# EPA (BrandNiemann) (KDW)
# National Center for Biomedical Ontology [cBio] (MarkMusen) (KDX)
# DERI ? (DieterFensel .. Leo, please help confirm) # USC and/or ISI ?
(JerryHobbs) # UMBC ? (SergeiNirenberg) # NSF ? (MariaZemankova ...

If you see your name in parenthesis against an organization, I need your
help and support. Kindly get back to me (hopefully, before the end of
this
week): (017)
1. if your organization can be listed as a 'co-sponsor' for UOS.
I need either a "yes" (I hope) or a "no" answer to bring this to
closure. (018)
2. if the answer is "yes", please provide the exact way you want your
organization's name worded -- this may possibly be broader or narrower
than what we have listed now. (e.g. Mark might want "Stanford Medical
Informatics" instead of "Stanford University"
because the latter would probably take too long to clear, ... etc.) (019)
3. if there are more institutional support that you can help round up,
please help by seeking the same and providing their name. (e.g. Nicola
and Mark came back and said we could list the "Applied Ontology" journal
as a co-sponsor too, and that's just
wonderful!) (020)
We need as many co-sponsors as we can! Your support will be really
valuable and will be appreciated by all here. (021)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
