Subject: Board Action on OASIS-W3C collaboration
All, The bad news: there was opposition within the OASIS Board, and there will be lots more pitfalls and details to be worked out. The good news: we did clear the first hurdle, with the OASIS Board approving submission to W3C for synchronous processing. Now both OASIS and W3C have approved, *in principle*. (Details tbd.) Regards, -Lofton.
