Some refrain... We need to remember the words of that old paradigm
shifter, Ben Franklin, who said, "Gentleman, we must all hang together,
or we will assuredly hang separately."

Oasis (www.oasis-open.org)

Plus:

* visibility
* strong process
* nice neighborhood (Docbook, table model)

Minus
* $2500 to join if TopicMaps.org was seen as a company with under
  10 employees
* No (direct) marketing function
* Oasis copyright on the specs

I also support Murray's idea of turning TopicMaps.Org into a
non-profit. Right now, we don't really exist (Alice to Red King: "I
*am* real!") and so it would be hard for us to "join" anything.
