SponsorsExisting Sponsors:• IBM provide dues and in-kind• Intel stopped this year – re-evaluating their strategy as
members of industry consortium projects.
Discussions with new members: • Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination is cultivating
founding corporate sponsors – discussion with several in which CHMPR membership would be a component.
• Sony –continues to provide $50K of in-kind support per year, reluctant to sign member agreement.
