Field Force Management TC has been launched

[Robin Cover <robin@oasis-open.org>]

Congratulations to members of the Field Force Management
(FFM) TC  [1] for successful launch of the new Technical
Committee.

Thinh Nguyenphu (thinh.nguyenphu@nsn.com) was elected
Chair, and the TC may choose to elect a Co-Chair at any
time.

Please feel free to contact me or Chet Ensign, OASIS
Director of Standards Development and TC Administration [2]
on any technical or procedural matters, going forward.

I append the list of essential URI references for resources
that will be useful to the TC for its specification development,
publishing, and other operations. [3] - [8].

Of special attention for the TC Chair, document editors,
secretary, and others who create documents and post
messages about TC work:  please remember to use the
public-access URI references for documents, ballots,
email messages, calendar events [etc] rather than the
password-protected (member-only) URIs.  This will
ensure that persons who do not have a Kavi user
account can access TC assets, as required by the OASIS
process and goals of public access, supporting of the
OASIS commitment to transparency, openness, and
accountability [9].

Cheers

- Robin Cover
(on behalf of the TC Admin team)
