[OASIS members] Press Release to Announce OASIS Biometrics TC

[Carol Geyer <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS Members:

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce
the new OASIS XML Common Biometric Format Technical Committee (XCBF TC).
We have targeted 27 February for distribution.

While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our
technical work, we have a policy to list only Sponsor member companies
in announcements directed to the press. The higher Sponsor member dues
underwrite the cost of promotional activities such as press releases.
All OASIS XCBF TC members--Sponsors, Contributors, and Individuals--will
be listed in OASIS member communications and on the OASIS web site.

If you represent a member company that would like to be included in the
XCBF TC announcement, please send me approval to use your company name.
If you would like to send a quote on behalf of your company in support
of this new TC, please email that to me, including a name and title at
your company to whom the quote can be attributed.

If your company is not a Sponsor member, and you would like to be
featured as a major participant in the OASIS XCBF TC press release,
please contact Scott McGrath (scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) for
information on upgrading your membership to take advantage of this
promotional benefit.

If you are interested in joining the new OASIS XCBF TC, please notify
the TC chair, Phil Griffin of Griffin Consulting
(phil.griffin@asn-1.com). Sponsors should also notify me if they would
like to be included in the press announcement.

**Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor names/quotes for the press
release is COB Monday, 25 Feb.**

Carol
