9 New Entities Joined Open Grid Alliance, One Withdrew, Says DOJ Notice

The Open Grid Alliance gained nine new members and lost one, the association told DOJ and the FTC in simultaneous “written notifications” May 20, says a notice for Wednesday’s Federal Register. “Membership in this group research project remains open, and OGA intends to file additional written notifications disclosing all changes in membership,” said Suzanne Morris, DOJ Antitrust Division chief-premerger and division statistics. The notifications are required to extend OGA members antitrust protections under the 1993 National Cooperative Research and Production Act, said Morris. New OGA members, according to the notice, are Accedian Networks, St. Laurent, Canada; Arrcus, San Jose; Crown Castle Fiber, Houston; Ecole de technologie superieure, Montreal; Highway9 Networks, Saratoga, California; Macrometa, San Mateo, California; Menya Solutions, Sherbrooke, Canada; STARaCom Research Center, Montreal; and Universite de Sherbrooke, Quebec City. ITRenew, Newark, California, has withdrawn, says the notice.
