OpenDocument Format Alliance

Is anyone familiar with the OpenDocument Format Alliance?

http://www.odfalliance.org/

According to Wikipedia:

"The Open Document Format Alliance (ODF Alliance) is a Washington,
D.C.-based lobbying organization established by IBM, Sun Microsystems
and SIIA to "promote and advance the use of OpenDocument Format (ODF)
as the primary document format for governments" [1] Although
originally focused on promotion of ODF "via legislation or by
executive policy decision",[2] the ODF Alliance also did extensive PR
and lobbying in opposition to the Microsoft-backed Office Open XML
standard.[3]

Founded by IBM, Sun and 33 other companies and organizations on March
3, 2006,[4] the Alliance now boasts more than 500 members.[5] However
funding sources are not itemized in the organization's 2007 annual
report, so membership financial participation is unclear."

It looks like OpenOffice.org is a member.  KDE is also a member, but
should Calligra be a member as well or is it okay to just fall under
the KDE banner?
