Neutrality · what a seat is and isn't

Membership is a seat at the table — nothing more, and nothing less.

Maps to →
A seat in the working groups and one vote per organisation.
Early access to drafts, the suite, and the sandbox.
A chance to shape the rules your products emit and enforce.
A path to an accredited listing once you pass conformance.
Does not imply ✕
Endorsement. A seat isn't OCSS vouching for you; your logo isn't a cert mark.
Exclusivity. No category is reserved; competitors share the table.
Control. No member, not even the steward, changes the spec alone.
A fee to use it. Royalty-free whether you join or not.

Triage

Five quick answers.

How fast can we integrate?

One envelope, one Trust-List check — no per-surface SDK. Start in the sandbox today.

Which surfaces will enforce our protections?

Every accredited surface that speaks OCSS — DNS, routers, devices, browsers, OS, app stores, platforms. The registry grows on its own.

Is it free?

Yes. Royalty-free to implement and to join, at every tier.

Can we test now?

Yes. The sandbox is open today — mint keys, sign, route. No membership.

Who owns it?

No one. Phosra stewards; governance moves to the coalition. No member changes the spec alone.
