Membership Fee Changes

The Unicode Consortium is announcing changes to membership fees and
categories. These changes include both the addition of a new membership
category as well as a periodic adjustment of membership fees for
inflation. These fee changes put the Consortium in a stronger position
to continue its mission to enable people around the world to use
computers in any language by providing freely-available specifications
and data. Note also that a new category for Supporting, non-profit has
been created. All other existing non-profit and individual memberships
will have no change.

As of June 1, 2019, the annual membership fee will change as described
in the following table:

*Membership Levels*

*Current Fee*

membership levels, when renewal fees are paid in advance:

    * 10 years, 20% discount
