I'm puzzling through history of $ for various open source foundations. Founding members of Hyperledger contributed $250K a year, min 2 yrs. FIDO Alliance is $50K a year, but I'm unclear if founding members paid more. W3C is ~$75K. How much was it early on for banks to join R3?

Mozilla Foundation (for-profit taxpaying sub created later) was spun out of AOL with $2M funding over two years, 1M/year. We added a Technical Advisory Board taking $250K/yr (IIRC) from IBM, Sun, later Novell & Oracle. Last mtg, Google joined; fees refunded as search deal was go.
