RE: AND's membership in OASIS & meeting 20th

["Laura Walker" <laura.walker@oasis-open.org>]

To clarify: a submission from an individual member would not become an OASIS
resolution. The way that we produce resolutions is via our Technical
Committees.

Anyone can submit a spec to XML.ORG, for public viewing and access.

The correct process is to make the mailing list discussion group aware of
your specification and to initiate a dialog amongst the members of the
group -- we would hope with a view to unifying the efforts.

You are correct. But understand that the XML.ORG catalog (the precursor to
the registry and repository) is not solely for OASIS technical work. It's a
community resource, and is therefore available to all, without regard to
there being an OASIS TC.


I hope this clarifies.
