Submit Questions for BoD Candidates

Consortium members are encouraged to submit questions this week for OASIS Board of Directors candidates. This is an ideal
opportunity to identify issues of concern regarding the management and direction of the organization and gain a greater
understanding of the positions of Board candidates. Staff will summarize all questions received and compile an anonymous,
representative sample. Candidates will be strongly encouraged to address each issue as part of their online profiles. Questions are
due by 20 May. Nominations for BoD and TAB close 24 May.

OASIS Open Standards Day Focuses on eBusiness for Europe  

The European community will come together to explore advances in eBusiness standards at the OASIS Open Standards Day at XTech in
Amsterdam, 24 May.  The programme will feature presentations on the latest eGovernment projects as well as on XML for tax-related
information. It will provide updates on widely applicable specifications, such as WSBPEL, WSDM, WSRF and WSN. SAML 2.0 and its
interaction with the related profile adapters in XACML and WS-Security will also be explored, as will PLCS. A European Justice
System's use of the ebXML Messaging OASIS Standard will provide perspective on real-world deployment of standards. OASIS members
