 OGC does not modify the Sponsors logo.
 OSGeo modifies the sponsors logo as the logo that is given by the sponsor
 has colors.

 In the link above, it does not mention that their logo will be converted
 to gray scale.

 Did a consultation to the sponsor's branding guide for the gray change was
 made?

 We have our branding guide: https://www.osgeo.org/about/branding-material/
 and as far as I remember (I have to use my memory because the link to the
 pdf, is not working) we have a section for what exact grays must be used
 in our logo.
 If someone needs to use the gray scale of our logo, do we expect them to
 use our branding guide or just make the automatic change like we are doing
 with the sponsors logo.


 I can see that OGC solved a problem of scalability with the moving logos,
 so if I am a sponsor, and I want to check that my logo is in OGC:
 Without refreshing a page I see the logo with the original colors, just a
 matter of time for it to show up.

 We solved the problem of scalability with only 5 random logos showing, so
 if I am a sponsor and I want to check that my logo is as promised on the
 bottom of the page:
 I need to refresh the page many times maybe I get lucky to see my logo,
 and when I see my logo it has been changed to black and white it is not
 the logo I sent.

 My point:
 * the sponsors benefits do not mention gray scale on the bottom of the
 page.
 * The sponsors benefits mention that their logo will be on the bottom of
 the page and that might not happen, because only 5 logos appear at a given
 time.
