+.SH NAME
+XConsortium \- X Consortium information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+Releases 6.0 through 6.3 of X Version 11 were brought to you by the
+X Consortium, Inc.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The X Consortium was an independent, not-for-profit Delaware membership
+corporation. It was formed in 1993 as the successor to the MIT X Consortium.
+The purpose of the X Consortium was to foster the development, evolution, and
+maintenance of the X Window System, a comprehensive set of vendor-neutral,
+system-architecture neutral, network-transparent windowing and user interface
+standards.
+.PP
+The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts
+Institute of Technology. In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consortium to
+provide the technical and administrative leadership necessary to support
+further development of the X Window System. In 1992, MIT and the membership
+decided it was in their best interests to move the consortium out of MIT and
+create an independent, stand-alone organization. All rights to the
+X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January 1, 1994.
+X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on December 31, 1996. All rights to the
+X Window System have been assigned to the Open Software Foundation.
+.PP
+The X Consortium was financially self-supporting through membership fees.
+There are no license fees associated with the use of X Window System standards
+and code developed by the X Consortium. Membership in the X Consortium was
+open to any organization willing to execute a membership agreement.
+.PP
+The X Consortium was a highly participative body. Members were encouraged to
+actively cooperate with the staff and other members in the design and review
+of proposed specifications, and in the design, coding and testing of sample
+implementations of those specifications.
+.PP
+The X Consortium accomplished most of its work using electronic mail over the
+Internet, with individual mailing lists for working groups. Internet
+electronic mail connectivity was viewed as a requirement for useful
+participation in X Consortium activities. Meetings were held as necessary,
+often in conjunction with industry conferences and trade shows.
