[OASIS members] Press Release to Announce OASIS EM 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 Emergency Management Technical Committee (EM TC). We have
targeted Monday, 27 January, 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 EM TC members--Sponsors, Contributors, and Individuals--will
be listed in OASIS member communications and on the OASIS web site.

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

"OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee members include Blue292,
E Team, National Center for Crisis and Continuity Coordination (NC4),
Wells Fargo, <INSERT NAMES OF OTHER SPONSOR MEMBERS WHO JOIN TC BEFORE
27 JAN> and others."

If you represent an organization listed above, please notify me only if
you do NOT wish to have your company name featured.

If you represent an OASIS Sponsor organization that isn't listed above,
but you plan to join this TC before 27 Jan, and you would like to be
included in the press release, please notify the TC co-chairs, Allen
Wyke of Blue292 (awyke@blue292.com) and Rick Carlton of E Team
(rcarlton@eteam.com), and me.

TC members at the Sponsor level that would like to send a quote on
behalf of their organization in support of this new TC, may email that
to me. Please include a name and title at your company to whom the quote
can be attributed.

If your organization is not a Sponsor member, and you would like to be
featured as a major participant in the OASIS EM 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.

For details on the new TC, see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200301/msg00001.html.

**Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor quotes for the press
release is 5:00 pm US EST, Thursday, 23 January.**

Carol
