+    <h1>About the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board</h1>
+
+    <p>
+      The Advisory Board is made up of organizations and companies that support
+      GNOME. The Advisory Board has no decision-making authority but provides a
+      vehicle for its members to communicate with the Board of Directors and
+      help the Directors guide the overall direction of GNOME and the GNOME
+      Foundation.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Current Advisory Board members are listed in our <a
+      href="/about/">about</a> page.
+    </p>
+
+    <h2>Joining the Advisory Board</h2>
+
+    <p>
+      If your organization or company is interested in joining the Advisory
+      Board, please <a href="/contact/">contact</a> the Board of Directors.
+    </p>
+
+    <h2>Annual Fee</h2>
+
+    <p>
+      Advisory Board member companies pay an annual fee which helps finance
+      the operations of the GNOME foundation. The <a
+      href="/reports/">reports</a> that are published by the Foundation show
+      how this money is used to help the GNOME project.</p>
+
+    <p>There are two levels for commerical companies:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Small company: 1-49 employees. $5,000 / year</li>
+      <li>Medium and large company: 50 or more employees. $10,000 / year</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>
+      No fee is paid by the invited non-profit organizations that are part
+      of the Advisory Board.
+    </p>
+
+    <h2>Roles and Responsibilities of Advisory Board Members</h2>
+
+    <ul>
+
+      <li>
+        Represents and advises on the needs of the primary downstream partners
+        served by GNOME.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Receives and actively provides input and discussion on topics sent to
+        the Advisory Board list or discussed at Advisory Board meetings. Topics
+        include things like financial reports, project status, and event
+        planning.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Promotes GNOME. The GNOME Foundation and Advisory Board members often
+        work together to promote GNOME, and members are expected to work with
+        the GNOME Foundation to promote GNOME when opportunities arise. For
+        example, by speaking about GNOME at industry events or at company or
+        government meetings where people are not familiar with GNOME.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Identifies/presents opportunities for collaboration and alerts GNOME to
+        significant relevant developments within other industries or working
+        groups. This can include things like suggesting a GNOME presence at an
+        established event or pointing out opportunities for partnership and
+        making introductions to other companies and organizations.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Helps the GNOME Foundation grow and improve as an organization.
+        Identifying services that the GNOME Foundation can provide for GNOME
+        Foundation members, Advisory Board members and GNOME users. This can
+        include things like suggesting a local event or project shortfalls
+        (documentation, integration, support) that could be addressed by GNOME
+        Foundation resources.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+	Provides mentorship and advice to community members working on projects
+        like marketing, finance and fundraising. Mentorship can be provided
+        directly by the Advisory Board member or by others in their company.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Ensures that their company is involved and engaged with upstream
+        discussion and events where relevant. For example, ensure that the
+        appropriate people are subscribed to the right forums and involved with
+        upstream decisions.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Attends and sponsors GNOME events that align with the Advisory Board
+        member's needs.
+      </li>
+
+      <li>
+        Offers guidance, advice and resources. This guidance can include not
+        only opportunities for how to acquire money but other ways to solve
+        problems. Examples include helping to solve our system administration
+        shortage, planning representation at events, etc.
+      </li>
+
+    </ul>
