Mike et al., (01)
Just came out of the UOS Organization Committee meeting ... after
reviewing the situation, it was finally adopted that we will
use the following definition: (02)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who are providing technical
or funding support, and/or endorsing the purpose of this Upper
Ontology Summit." (03)
See discussion notes at:

Thanks & regards. =ppy
