This as you can all imagine represents a significant investment for the company. Documentum is very commitment to the advancement of XML and specifically the success of XML.org, and is willing to undertake this investment based on the business terms that we discussed during the XML.org Steering Committee meetings. However, we are very concerned that there has been no formal recording or response from either XML.org or the OASIS board of any decisions made related to Documentum developing the XML.org registry and repository. Outlined below is our understanding of the business terms of the agreement between Documentum and XML.org/OASIS related to the development of the XML.org Registry and Repository. Before Documentum undertakes any further investment in this project it is very important that we receive a firm commitment from OASIS/XML.org to the terms outlined in this email. Any commitments by Documentum in this email are dependent on SUN providing certain components of the solution (resources, software, hardware, hosting) and Oracle Licenses are procured. Based on the XML.org steering committee meetings, the following is our understanding of the business terms of Documentum building the XML.org Registry and Repository solution. 1. That OASIS agrees/commits to Documentum, with the partnership of SUN, building the XML.org registry and repository. 2. That OASIS/XML.org will form the Advisory Council for XML.org (ACXO) no later than 3/1 and that the ACXO will be charged with responding to any questions/clarifications by the implementation team within 2 business days. We are unclear whether the ACXO is responsible for sign-off and response or some "rapid response team". Where we are saying ACXO we mean the group responsible for responding, and we need clarification of this. 3. The functional specification submitted to XML.org for review will be finalized on Monday 2/27/2000 and sent for sign-off to ACXO, this has extended the original agreed upon review period by over 1 week. The functional specification details the scope of work being developed for the XML.org Registry and Repository. No scope changes will be accepted after the sign-off and OASIS/XML.org cannot reject the resulting system for lacking any functionality that was not detailed in the functional specification. 4. That Documentum can market the development of the XML.org registry and repository (Press Releases, Case Studies, Demos and other such marketing collateral). 5. That Documentum will be featured in all announcements related to the launch of the registry and repository and a press release will be issued from XML.org/OASIS stating that Documentum developed the Registry and Repository - including a quote from Documentum. Documentum must review and approve all public announcements/press releases where Documentum is being referenced before public release. 6. That OASIS/XML.org will use in production the Registry and Repository we are building. 7. That Documentum will endeavor to have the site production ready by May 15th. That OASIS agrees to move the site into production no later than 14 days after the production ready site is made available. We feel that April 15th is far too aggressive for the development of a quality production site considering overall delays in getting this project started and the scope of work. Our aim is to have this site up and running as soon as possible but we cannot commit to a specified date at this point (it will be in the April/May timeframe). We will keep the ACXO informed of schedule and expected production dates during the course of the project development. 8. That OASIS/XML.org will use the XML.org registry and repository developed by Documentum exclusively in production for a minimum of 3 months after it goes live. 9. That OASIS/XML.org will provide the appropriate staff to ensure the site is maintained appropriately. 10. That OASIS/XML.org understands that Documentum maintains all IP rights to any Documentum software used in this project and that Documentum owns any code developed by Documentum for this project. OASIS/XML.org will sign a license agreement with Documentum for Documentum Products; this license will be free of charge. 11. Documentum understands that OASIS/XML.org owns the rights to the Registry and Repository specification.
