Release 1 did not. 
Here is the Release 1 spec: 
https://www.wi-fi.org/file/multi-ap-specification-v10
They do make non-members provide contact info, but the download is free.

Release 2 hasn't been released, yet. And I've pledged to abide by their 
non-disclosure policies, so I can't tell non-members what's in it. I think it's 
safe to say, it adds functionality that many companies find desirable.
