As I read in ``UNIX Review'', August 1990, that Motorola Inc. has
upgraded their membership in UNIX International (UI) to principal
member,  I'm curious if there is a membership list for the two
organizations with members current status?

We here at TRW are awaiting, like most the world, some type of movement
from one or both organizations (growth of SVR4, status of OSF/1, etc.)
so a choice can be made (direction in the 90's).  Not sure if a
membership list is useful but figured it couldn't hurt.

Along the same lines.
Does anybody have any information or insight into the European
Commission and their reported (UNIX Today!, June (something) 1990)
choice by year-end to pick either OSF or UI?  What is this commission
and how much clot do they have in the European community?  Could their
choice provide direction for other organizations?  Is this decision worth
watching?

Thanks for the response.
