Members also benefit from front-line access to information about
activities, the opportunity to participate in the process of defining
standards, and the synergy of working with other vendors who are
addressing similar implementation issues. In addition, all members
gain access to the member-only web site and other materials for
review, including specifications, white papers and e-mail aliases.
