If everyone else prefers the given wording, then so be it.
I think the last part undermines our cause. (01)
Adding the last sentence: (02)
1. Is UNNECESSARY - anyone technically or financially supporting, can be
assumed to, in some way, be supporting the purpose of the summit. (03)
2. GIVES THE WRONG MESSAGE. The 'and/or' clause amounts to saying:
"one of things some of the co-sponsors might be doing is endorsing the
purpose of this Upper Ontology Summit effort." (04)
That is an awful message to send. (05)

Mike et al., (08)
Just came out of the UOS Organization Committee meeting ... after
reviewing the situation, it was finally adopted that we will use the
following definition: (09)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who are providing technical or
funding support, and/or endorsing the purpose of this Upper Ontology
Summit." (010)
