National Jurisdictions  Functions best done locally  Operate in their native language  Responsible for own taxonomies  Lobby their government agencies for adoption  Functions best leveraging the whole international organization  Cross-company, cross-border knowledge sharing  Common intellectual property protection  Conference co-ordination  Relationships with multinational member companies

Benefits  Provisional Jurisdiction  Protection of XBRL trademarks, domain names  Facilitator staff  XBRL and archives  Participation in XBRL International working groups  Eligible to host International Conference  Eligible to submit “Approved” Taxonomy to ISC  Full Jurisdiction  Voting Representation on Steering Committee  Member company  Voting participation on Supply Chain Communities  Voting participation on Working Groups  Resident company staff  Discounted attendance at hosted conferences  All member company staff  XBRL and archives

States of a Taxonomy… from XBRL International point of view  Unrecognised  Acknowledged  Syntactically valid XBRL – nothing more  Noted on XBRL.org web site  Approved  Means it follows XBRL taxonomy best practices with respect to modularity, naming, relationships  Advertised on XBRL.org web site, etc.  Recommended  Means it is the only XBRL taxonomy approved for a given type of reporting.  Actively promoted in outreach activities

Benefits of Corporate Membership  Early Access to Information  Technical  Marketing  Influence on XBRL Evolution  Technology directions  (Often incorporating jurisdiction specific issues)  Industry focus  (Also varies in importance by jurisdiction)  Community and knowledge sharing  What you get out depends on what you put in  What’s not written down is sometimes of most value
