# VESA
The X.org foundation is able to work with [VESA](https://vesa.org) in order to
provide members access to various specifications in order to provide access to
members who otherwise might not have access. Access to VESA specifications are
limited to active X.org members.
## Acquiring access
Access to VESA specifications is a privilege from VESA that's provided to X.org
on the basis of trust. As such, we ask that only members who meet the following
requirements apply for access:
* The member should be an active X.org member and an active contributor to
various projects in our community
* Specifications are given on a need-to-know basis, and as such members are
expected to only request specifications which are relevant to their work in
the community. For instance, if you request access to the DisplayPort spec,
its expected that you actually work on code dealing with DisplayPort. If you
only have a few specific questions about something in a specification,
consider asking another community member who already has specification
access.
* The purpose of this service is to allow active community members without an
employer who can afford a VESA membership to participate in our community,
and have the same ability to access specifications that their
corporate-supported peers have. This is not a service intended to save
employers money by giving them free access to VESA specifications.
To apply, you can send a message to <board@foundation.x.org>. If the board
decides it's appropriate to give you specification access, we will contact VESA
and work with them to provide you access to the specifications you need assuming
VESA also accepts the request. The board reserves the right to deny
specification access to members who don't have an appropriate need for it.
Furthermore any specifications received from X.org must not be shared outside of
X.org, and violation of this may result in suspension of the violator's X.org
membership.
