Founding members of the MoU include the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE). As the newest invited member of the MoU, OASIS adds its resources to the efforts of these international standards-setting bodies to coordinate the development of global standards for electronic business. http://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis_news_02_11_02.shtml On 28 Jan, the Consortium publicly announced the formation of the OASIS Web Services Standard for Remote Portals (WSRP) TC. WSRP is an XML and Web services specification that will allow the plug-n-play of visual, user-facing Web services with portals or other intermediary Web applications. https://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis_news_01_28_02.shtml Last week, the OASIS ebXML Registry Technical Committee publicly announced its approval of the ebXML Registry Services Specification v2.0 and the ebXML Registry Information Model v2.0. The OASIS membership at-large will vote on the ebXML Registry specifications in April 2002. https://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis_news_01_30_02.shtml The XML-DEV mailing list celebrates its fifth year as an open forum for code development, creation of protocols and specifications, and other material contributions. While the XML spec was in draft, XML-DEV served as the key resource for coordinating software development. Over the years, it has fostered many significant projects, including the SAX API for XML parsers. Since February 2000, OASIS has hosted the unmediated XML-DEV through XML.org. OASIS applauds all who contribute to XML-DEV, particularly its creators, Dr. Henry Rzepa and Prof. Peter Murray-Rust. http://www.xml.org/xml/xmldev.shtml ------- SIDEBAR ------- Interesting facts about the wide reach of the arms of OASIS. Did you know that of the 25 current OASIS TCs, seven are chaired by individuals based in Europe, one in Asia and one in Australia? Of the 17 North American-based TC chairs, two live in Canada and two others live in the US, but hold citizenship elsewhere. What's more, half of the OASIS Board of Directors are European and half are North American by birth. OASIS works hard to increase representation from all parts of the globe, and these numbers attest to the growing cross cultural participation in our work. It does make it more challenging, however, to schedule a conference call. --------------- MEMBER BENEFITS --------------- Members delivering presentations at industry conferences are encouraged to mention their affiliation with OASIS and participation in OASIS TCs whenever possible. OASIS staff is available to provide support for speakers, including details on Consortium technical work and accomplishments. We are also happy to promote presentations by Sponsor members on the OASIS web sites. For specific info, contact Dee Schur, dee.schur@oasis-open.org. ----------------- NEW OASIS MEMBERS ----------------- OASIS is pleased to announce that PeopleSoft, www.peoplesoft.com, has joined the Consortium as a sponsor member. New OASIS Contributors include IWay software and ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC34.
