Clarifying Membership Access and Rights: Only Paying Members May Implement CIPURSE
With the launch of CIPURSE™ V2 Specification Package Revision 2.1, OSPT Alliance is reinforcing the roles of its membership tiers. While our categories — Full, Affiliate, and Associate — remain unchanged, we are clarifying access and usage rights:
Only Full and Affiliate Members have the legal right to implement CIPURSE™ and access the latest version of the specification. Associate Members, intended solely for evaluation by academia and public-sector observers, may not implement and only have access to older versions.
To support proper licensing and adoption, we’ve significantly reduced our membership fees:
Affiliate: €500/year (previously €1,000)
Full: €3,000/year (previously €5,000)
We encourage all Associate Members who expect to implement to upgrade their membership to maintain access to the
latest version of the CIPURSE™ spec and meet licensing requirements.
