Bounties secound try (agree or bash just spell my name right;)

[Leon Shiman]

Hi Ely -

I believe all members of the BOD read this list.

As for "bounties". It's a hot idea - and the subject of serious discussion 
by the Board and the Sponsors. The X.Org Foundation L.L.C. just completed 
filing for US IRS 501(C)3 status to permit tax-deductible contributions to 
the Foundation.

Sponsorship is the standard mechanism. Email to XF_members at X.Org, X.Org's 
list for organization issues, reaches all members and Sponsors.

Your participation  is welcome. Among the Sponsors, Peter Winston 
(peter at ics.com) has been spearheading the effort.

Leon
