The category "OS vendors" gets a little fishy... Do Linus Torvalds and
Alan Cox get on the list if they sign the NDA?  How about Patrick
Volkerding?  Someone like Microsoft or Sun obviously qualifies, but with
respect to Open Source OSes, fact is *everyone* is an OS vendor at some
level.  

Most open source OS projects have a defined leadership and possibly a security
team or a security officer, so determining who qualifies should be a simple
enough task.

I offer my condolences to whoever at ISC has to determine which of the seven
billion Linux distros they consider large enough to warrant membership.
