[OASIS members] Press Release to Annouce OASIS UDDI Spec 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 UDDI Specification Technical Committee. We have targeted
Wednesday, 28 August, 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 UDDI Specification TC members--Sponsors, Contributors, and
Individuals--will be listed in OASIS member communications and on the
OASIS web site.

The OASIS UDDI Specification TC press release, therefore, will include
the following statement:

"BEA Systems, Cincom, ContentGuard, E2Open, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard,
IBM, Intel, IONA, Microsoft, MSI Business Solutions, Nervewire, Novell,
Oracle, Perficient, SAP, SeeBeyond, Sun Microsystems, Verisign,
webMethods, XML Global, and others collaborate to advance the UDDI
specification within OASIS."

If you represent a company listed above, please notify me only if you do
NOT wish to have your company name featured. 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 UDDI Specification 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 UDDI Specification TC,
please notify the TC chairs, Tom Bellwood of IBM (bellwood@us.ibm.com)
and Luc Clement of Microsoft (lclement@microsoft.com). Sponsors should
also notify me if they would like to be included in the press
announcement.

For details on the new TC, see
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/.

**Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor quotes for the press
release is COB Monday, 26 August.**

Carol
