RE: [oic] RE: Requesting SC34 WG4 Liaison

[Chris Rae <Chris.Rae@microsoft.com>]

Hi all - I had a chat with a couple of people here about this and thought I'd share some info I gleaned. A liaison with JTC1 allows OASIS to attend pretty much any SC meetings. WG meetings don't have a concept of liaisons (they're just a group of experts) so if OASIS formally announce Dennis as their representative for the SC meetings I think he can be added to the attendee list for any WG meetings he wishes to attend. I think OASIS can do that by emailing the secretary, Kimura-san (contact me for her contact details). Typically these announcements would come from the relevant TC chair.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hi,

such a face2face meeting is always an excellent source of information and having Dennis as one of our most active members located in the Seattle area makes this a great opportunity.
Therefore allow me to second the humble support just before the e-ballot, which is a good idea.

Best regards,
Svante
