Look at RosettaNet model for logos and other programs and
paraphernalia....

	Carol,
	
	Good points - although it is OK for non-profits to make money
	you know - and we could always sidestep that by making clear
	that any proceeds are being used for some worthy cause
	or specific fund - an idea would be providing computers
	to 3rd world countries et al.
	
	On logos idea - I was thinking that we have the standard
	kit of stuff with our great logo on it - but that sponsors could
	have their logo added to the design - sorta
	understated - very tasteful - especially  if they wanted them
	for their own employees.  This would also get you orders
	ahead of time to offset risk.

	OASIS is a non-profit, and we can't put ourselves in the
position of
	'selling' anything. Our lawyers feel very strongly about this.
	
	Running a gift shop on the ebXML.org site seems a bit off-focus
at best,
	tacky at worst. Do we even have the resources to support this?
Or are
	you volunteering to box up mugs and sweats and take them to UPS
on the
	weekend? Global shipping alone would be a nightmare, although
I'm sure
	you could find a service to manage the shop.
	
	Not sure what you mean about sponsorship with company logos. If
you're
	suggesting, for example, that a vendor like XML Global might
produce
	baseball caps with the We Support ebXML logo and the XML Global
logo on
	them, and provide them to staff and/or prospects to wear at
conferences,
	I think that would be great.
	
	Carol
