OASIS TC chairs:
Please take a moment to review the "OASIS TC Guidelines for Promoting
Your Work" and the "OASIS Media Relations Guidelines" and ask the
members of your TC (and their PR representatives) to review these
documents as well.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/guidelines.php#promoting
http://www.oasis-open.org/news/media_relations_policy.php

It's very important that all OASIS members are aware of the proper 
methods and opportunities for promoting their work within the 
Consortium.  

We're more than happy to have members endorse or announce support for 
OASIS activities, provided they are accurate and have already been 
made public on the OASIS web site and/or through an OASIS press 
release. Notify your TC members that any company press release 
referencing OASIS work must be sent to me for review prior to 
distribution.  

Inform me of any press inquiries you receive in your role as OASIS TC 
chair, as well as any requests from your TC members to provide quotes 
or approve press releases.  

Please appreciate that my concerns go beyond issues of courtesy or 
turf. Company press releases that mention OASIS TCs result in editors 
and analysts contacting me with questions. When I am aware of member 
releases prior to distribution, I am naturally in a better position 
to respond positively and intelligently.  

Also, be assured that I will not approve any press releases related 
to your OASIS TC without your review and approval as TC chair.  

Thanks for your help,
Carol
