Phil,
I just checked on REA's LF membership status and it appears
the lowest cost tier is $5,000 to become a LF member. Please confirm my
understanding is correct that $5,000 is the lowest cost membership fee
available.
Thanks,
Dick Brooks

Subject: [spdx] SPDX Company Membership
Dear SPDX community,
With the adoption of the new project governance model for SPDX in September,
one new aspect of the updated structure is the introduction of the ability
for companies and other organizations to become official members of the
project.
We have been working with the Linux Foundation for them to configure their
membership enrollment platform for SPDX. Now that this has been completed,
we're happy to announce that organizations can begin signing up as members
of SPDX.
As a reminder, organizational membership in SPDX is not required in order
for anyone to contribute to or participate in the technical development of
SPDX. All of SPDX's code and specification development is open to anyone to
participate in, whether or not their organization is a formal SPDX member --
same as always.
Membership Benefits
Membership in SPDX enables an organization to have their logo displayed on
the project website and materials to indicate their status as a "member" of
the project, and to identify them as such.
Additionally, with the governance change, the SPDX Steering Committee will
be expanded to include up to two individuals selected as Member
Representatives (see Section 2 of the Governance document
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/spdx/governance/blob/main/5._
Governance.md*2-roles-responsibilities-and-terms__;Iw!!A4F2R9G_pg!LyN5nbidkc
c2tRs6oRIqaRf0YzoW72oXVoAubS91mJ1PLRWOf86TlRFFlwKuJjwaedg$> ). Each
organization that is a member of SPDX may nominate one person from their
organization as a candidate for selection
Organizations that become members of SPDX within the first four months
following December 1, 2021, may make a nomination for the initial selection
of Member Representatives during that four-month time period. After April 1,
2022, the Steering Committee will choose the Member Representatives from
among the nominees. We will send updated details about this to the
then-current members as the deadline approaches. The terms for all Steering
Committee members, as specified in Section 2 of the Governance document,
will begin on May 1, 2022.
Signing up
Project membership in SPDX itself is available at no charge; however, an
organization must be a member of The Linux Foundation (which may include
fees for your organization) in order to become a member.
In order to become a member, go to
https://enrollment.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/?project=spdx
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/enrollment.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/?proj
ect=spdx__;!!A4F2R9G_pg!LyN5nbidkcc2tRs6oRIqaRf0YzoW72oXVoAubS91mJ1PLRWOf86T
lRFFlwKuDMNEshQ$> to begin the signup process. If your organization is not
already an LF member, the LF membership agreement sign-up and billing will
be included as part of the process.
(Please note that the membership enrollment system may still ask for billing
information, even if your organization is already an LF member and you are
only signing up for SPDX membership.)
Please let us know if you or your organization have any questions about
becoming a member of SPDX.
SPDX Steering Committee
