To:  TC Qualified Members of the Digital Signature Services (DSS) TC
cc:  Other TC members

    The OASIS Digital Signature Services (DSS) TC has conducted a Transition Approval Ballot under the rules provided by the OASIS IPR Transition Policy [1]. The ballot results are visible to OASIS members at [2]. The ballot to apply the current (2005) OASIS IPR Policy to the TC's operations, and adopt the "RAND" IPR mode, FAILED. While sufficient votes were cast, one vote was negative. The TC will continue to operate under the Legacy IPR Policy until 15 April 2007 at which time the TC must close as defined in the IPR Transition Policy Section 3.10.

Regards,

Mary
