<body><div>Hi all,<br></div>
<div>Facebook has indicated no objection to being added to the list of corp sponsors / advisory board. The site needs to be updated. I apologize for the confusion.<br></div>
<div>I like the suggestion for adding a column to indicate the reason why folks are on the AB, we'll consider adding that.<br></div>

<div><div>Perhaps they also don't want promotion on the OSMF site when they pay/donate corporate membership. Although I agree with transparency, the page of corporate members should list the corporate members (which is it's main aim).<br></div>

<div>Although it may seem clear, maybe the Advisory Board page could have an extra column to state why they joined. "Local chapter", "Corporate Member", "Invited" would be the most expected values, but could be clarified further if desired.<br></div>
