The document also explains the process for updating work registers.

Alliance Partners Resources
Some Alliance Partners have chosen to share resources with the DMTF community. Featured items on the Alliance Partners Resources page include the SCRM Wiki from OGF and the CoreID Business Scenario document jointly released by The Open Group, NAC, and the DMTF.
Work Register Template
The DMTF board of directors approved a new work register template (PDF) (also available in a .doc format) on June 8th, 2006. The template is available to help the DMTF and new alliance partners to define the scope, milestones, and other information that is pertinent to the partnership.
Become an Alliance Partner
The DMTF values working with affiliated industry organizations, and the Alliance Partner membership is a way for the DMTF to formalize synergistic relationships with other standards groups. Strictly for not-for-profit organizations in the standards arena, the Alliance Partner membership level is offered at no charge. Alliance Partner members may participate in DMTF working groups as a non-voting member, and in the DMTF Marketing Committee, Technical Committee and the appropriate DMTF Working Groups as a non-voting member. Alliance Partner members also have access to the DMTF members-only Web site and member email lists. This membership category is intended to clarify roles and provide mutual benefit to the organizations and the DMTF. Alliance Partner membership is an important way the DMTF is helping unify management initiatives and develop more solid partnerships.
