The rationale for the current wording, from the perspective of the
organizers: (01)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who are providing technical or
funding support, and/or endorsing the purpose of this Upper Ontology
Summit." (02)
is that some organizations may be providing directly neither technical
nor funding support, but which still endorse the purpose of this Upper
Ontology Summit. NCOR, possibly, for example. The W3C, perhaps, none of
whose members may physically show up. There may be others. The actual
wording we agreed on was to eliminate the unnecessary "and/or", since
"or" is not exclusive: (03)
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who are providing technical or
funding support, or endorsing the purpose of this Upper Ontology
Summit." (04)
I would rephrase this more clearly as:
"'Co-sponsors' are organizations who are providing technical or
funding support or who endorse the purpose of this Upper Ontology
Summit." (05)
I think this lets everyone on or off the hook, no? (06)
Thanks,
Leo (07)

Seconded. While I don't have to worry about a big company's rules,
I'd like to reserve Ontology Works' support of the outcome until I
see what that outcome is. (012)
