   I would also appreciate first-hand information about efforts underway 
   at any Fortune 100 companies to secure domestic partnership benefits.

I haven't posted this to soc.motss recently.  It is all the companies
I know about to date.  I have not yet included sprint until someone
can confirm benefits.
