["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

XCBF TC members:

OASIS has been notified of the formation of a focus group on biometrics 
at CEN. We (OASIS staff) would be interested in hearing from you how we 
should respond to this invitation. Could you please respond to me in the 
next week or so:

1. If there is any part of the proposed scope of work that overlaps with
the scope of work of the OASIS XCBF TC.
2. If OASIS needs to be involved in this new Focus Group to help promote
the XCBF OASIS Standard.
3  If any member of the OASIS XCBF TC wants to join the CEN/ISSS Focus
Group on Biometrics Standardization, or if the XCBF TC needs to form a
formal liaison to this FG.

Based on your response we can make a decision how to move forward with 
any involvment by OASIS in this effort.

thanks
-Karl

Subject: FW: Invitation to the Kick-Off Meeting of the Focus group on
Biometrics Standardization

Invitation below is extended to ICTSB and NISSG.


Dear all,

I would like to invite you to the Kick-Off meeting of the Focus Group on
Biometrics Standardization that will take place on 24 June in the
CEN/CENELEC Meeting Centre (Meeting Room Galileo) in Brussels, starting
at 10H30 and finishing by 17H at the very latest.

For logistic reasons, I would like you to confirm attendance to
luc.vandenberghe@cenorm.be <mailto:luc.vandenberghe@cenorm.be> before 15
June 2004.

An initial 4 documents are attached:

Document ISSS/FG/BIOMETRICS 1 containing the Draft Meeting Agenda

Document ISSS/FG/BIOMETRICS 2 containing the DRAFT Terms of Reference
for the CEN/ISSS Focus Group on Biometric standardization issues, for
approval by the meeting; if you have important comments to make before
the Kick-Off Meeting, then please send them to me before 15 June to
optimize meeting time

Document ISSS/FG/BIOMETRICS 3 containing the Report (including comments
received) of the preparatory meeting of 25/02 last

Document ISSS/FG/BIOMETRICS 4 containing a first proposal for a request
to DG ENTR for financial support through a Grant

Agreement; this is for discussion at the Kick-Off meeting and the
planned submission date is mid September (unless we can justify the need
for a quicker process i.e. submission by 15 June).

(I zipped them into a single zip-file)

The announcement of this Kick-Off Meeting will also be sent to the ISSS
Forum list (containing contact points for all CEN NSBs), and will also
be posted on the CEN/ISSS web-site.

Finally, at the Kick-Off meeting, we will appoint a Chairman as well as
a Secretariat (the latter has to be a NSB) for the Focus Group.
Candidatures for both positions should be sent to
luc.vandenberghe@cenorm.be <mailto:luc.vandenberghe@cenorm.be> before 15
June 2004. For the Chair, s short CV is requested. For the Secretariat,
a short description of the NSB?s interest and of the NSB?s staff
expertise on the subject is requested.
