While the ONFI agreement allows for dues to be assessed up to a given maximum, the group currently does not assess such dues and currently has no plans to do so.

The agreement contribution addendum defines the confidentiality terms. The draft specifications are confidential ONFI materials and access to the draft specifications is therefore covered under the agreement contribution addendum. The ONFI group expects to publish the specifications after they are completed and ratified.

Although contributor members have access to the draft specifications and other confidential materials, their participation in the active Workgroups is not required. Contributors that want to participate in Workgroups must apply to the groups they want to participate in.
