The category "OS vendors" gets a little fishy... Do Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox get on the list if they sign the NDA? How about Patrick Volkerding? Someone like Microsoft or Sun obviously qualifies, but with respect to Open Source OSes, fact is *everyone* is an OS vendor at some level.
Most open source OS projects have a defined leadership and possibly a security team or a security officer, so determining who qualifies should be a simple enough task. I offer my condolences to whoever at ISC has to determine which of the seven billion Linux distros they consider large enough to warrant membership. -- Bill Fumerola / billf@FreeBSD.org
