Ex ante disclosure of licensing terms is not a monolithic concept.  In fact, ex ante  benefits can be accomplished in a variety of different ways, some already in existence, some currently under discussion, and others that have not yet been actively considered at all.  In order to gain the maximum benefits of incorporating ex ante disclosure into an SSOs process, the full range of options should be understood, and then adapted to fit the unique membership, goals, and risk tolerances of the organization in question.
