Background

   Members of the workprocess list propose to form an advisory
   committee of the Board to be called the Process Advisory
   Committee.  The charter of the PAC would be to advise the
   Board regarding procedures to be followed in OASIS technical
   committees under the current OASIS bylaws and to develop
   suggestions for changes to the bylaws that will enhance the
   scalability of the OASIS process.

   The PAC intends to meet (at times to be determined) during the
   GCA XML conference in Philadelphia 1999.12.06-10, during the
   GCA XTech conference in San Jose 2000.02.28-03.03, and, if
   necessary, during the GCA XML Europe conference in Paris
   2000.06.12-16.  It also intends to meet regularly by phone.
   Sun Microsystems has agreed to provide phone conference
   services for calendar year 2000.  The PAC is expected to
   complete its current work by the end of the Paris GCA
   conference, if not before.

   The following OASIS members and employees of OASIS member
   organizations have nominated themselves to serve as voting
   members of the proposed PAC and have accepted the proposed
   charter, deliverables, and meeting schedule.
